    Abstract

    We present Monte Carlo simulations of the spanning-forest model (q→0 limit of the ferromagnetic Potts model) in spatial dimensions d=3, 4, 5. We show that, in contrast to the two-dimensional case, the model has a ferromagnetic second-order phase transition at a finite positive value wc. We present numerical estimates of wc and of the thermal and magnetic critical exponents. We conjecture that the upper critical dimension is 6.
