Field theory conjecture for loop - erased random walks
نویسنده
چکیده
We give evidence that the functional renormalization group (FRG), developed to study disordered systems, may provide a field theoretic description for the loop-erased random walk (LERW), allowing to compute its fractal dimension in a systematic expansion in ε = 4− d. Up to two loop, the FRG agrees with rigorous bounds, correctly reproduces the leading logarithmic corrections at the upper critical dimension d = 4, and compares well with numerical studies. We obtain the universal subleading logarithmic correction in d = 4, which can be used as a further test of the conjecture.

The loop - erased random walk and the uniform spanning tree on the four - dimensional discrete torus
Let x and y be points chosen uniformly at random from Z4n, the four-dimensional discrete torus with side length n. We show that the length of the loop-erased random walk from x to y is of order n(logn), resolving a conjecture of Benjamini and Kozma. We also show that the scaling limit of the uniform spanning tree on Z4n is the Brownian continuum random tree of Aldous. Our proofs use the techniq...
متن کاملLoop-erased Random Walks, Spanning Trees and Hamiltonian Cycles
We establish a formula for the distribution of loop-erased random walks at certain random times. Several classical results on spanning trees, including Wilson’s algorithm, follow easily, as well as a method to construct random Hamiltonian cycles.
متن کاملUniform spanning forests and the bi-Laplacian Gaussian field
For N = n(log n) 1 4 , on the ball in Z4 with radius N we construct a ±1 spin model coupled with the wired spanning forests. We show that as n→∞ the spin field has bi-Laplacian Gaussian field on R4 as its scaling limit. For d ≥ 5, the model can be defined on Zd directly without the N -cutoff. The same scaling limit result holds. Our proof is based on Wilson’s algorithm and a fine analysis of in...
متن کاملThe growth exponent for planar loop-erased random walk
We give a new proof of a result of Kenyon that the growth exponent for loop-erased random walks in two dimensions is 5/4. The proof uses the convergence of LERW to Schramm-Loewner evolution with parameter 2, and is valid for irreducible bounded symmetric random walks on any discrete lattice of R2.
متن کاملAn expansion for self-interacting random walks
We derive a perturbation expansion for general interacting random walks, where steps are made on the basis of the history of the path. Examples of models where this expansion applies are reinforced random walk, excited random walk, the true (weakly) self-avoiding walk and loop-erased random walk. We use the expansion to prove a law of large numbers and central limit theorem for two models: (i) ...
