-The Bethe lattice can be thought of as the $d\rightarrow\infty$ lattice.+The Bethe lattice can be thought of as the $d\rightarrow\infty$ lattice. It is the infinite tree in which each vertex has the same number ($z$ --- called the coordination number) of neighbors. Note that $z=1$ is invalid, and $z=2$ is just a one-dimensional lattice.

 +As with many statistical models, percolation can be exactly solved on a Bethe lattice: see for instance [[https://web.mit.edu/ceder/publications/Percolation.pdf|these notes]]. The critical exponent is $\beta = 1$; the percolation threshold is $p_c = (z-1)^{-1}$.
