On the scaling limit of planar self - avoiding walk
نویسندگان
چکیده
A planar self-avoiding walk (SAW) is a nearest neighbor random walk path in the square lattice with no self-intersection. A planar self-avoiding polygon (SAP) is a loop with no self-intersection. In this paper we present conjectures for the scaling limit of the uniform measures on these objects. The conjectures are based on recent results on the stochastic Loewner evolution and nondisconnecting Brownian motions. New heuristic derivations are given for the critical exponents for SAWs and SAPs.

Critical Behaviour of Self-avoiding Walk in Five or More Dimensions
We use the lace expansion to prove that in five or more dimensions the standard self-avoiding walk on the hypercubic (integer) lattice behaves in many respects like the simple random walk. In particular, it is shown that the leading asymptotic behaviour of the number of «-step self-avoiding walks is purely exponential, that the mean square displacement is asymptotically linear in the number of ...
متن کاملA family of processes interpolating the Brownian motion and the self - avoiding process on the Sierpi nski
We construct a one-parameter family of self-repelling processes on the Sierpi nski gasket, by taking scaling limits of self-repelling walks on the pre-Sierpi nski gaskets. We prove that our model interpolates between the Brownian motion and the selfavoiding process on the Sierpi nski gasket. Namely, we prove that the process is continuous in the parameter in the sense of convergence in law, and...

متن کاملWeak Interaction Limits for One-dimensional Random Polymers
In this paper we present a new and flexible method to show that, in one dimension, various self-repellent random walks converge to self-repellent Brownian motion in the limit of weak interaction after appropriate space-time scaling. Our method is based on cutting the path into pieces of an appropriately scaled length, controlling the interaction between the different pieces, and applying an inv...
متن کاملMonte Carlo comparisons of the self-avoiding walk and SLE as parameterized curves
The scaling limit of the two-dimensional self-avoiding walk (SAW) is believed to be given by the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) with the parameter κ equal to 8/3. The scaling limit of the SAW has a natural parameterization and SLE has a standard parameterization using the half-plane capacity. These two parameterizations do not correspond with one another. To make the scaling limit of the SAW a...
