High-temperature series expansions for the q-state Potts model on a hypercubic lattice and critical properties of percolation.

We present results for the high-temperature series expansions of the susceptibility and free energy of the $q$-state Potts model on a $D$-dimensional hypercubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^D$ for arbitrary values of $q$. The series are up to order 20 for dimension $D\leq3$, order 19 for $D\leq 5$ and up to order 17 for arbitrary $D$. Using the $q\to 1$ limit of these series, we estimate the percolation threshold $p_c$ and critical exponent $\gamma$ for bond percolation in different dimensions. We also extend the 1/D expansion of the critical coupling for arbitrary values of $q$ up to order $D^{-9}$.
