The growth exponent for planar loop-erased random walk
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

A Lower Bound on the Growth Exponent for Loop-erased Random Walk in Two Dimensions
The growth exponent α for loop-erased or Laplacian random walk on the integer lattice is defined by saying that the expected time to reach the sphere of radius n is of order n. We prove that in two dimensions, the growth exponent is strictly greater than one. The proof uses a known estimate on the third moment of the escape probability and an improvement on the discrete Beurling projection theo...
متن کاملLoop-Erased Random Walk and Poisson Kernel on Planar Graphs
Lawler, Schramm and Werner showed that the scaling limit of the loop-erased random walk on Z2 is SLE2. We consider scaling limits of the loop-erasure of random walks on other planar graphs (graphs embedded into C so that edges do not cross one another). We show that if the scaling limit of the random walk is planar Brownian motion, then the scaling limit of its loop-erasure is SLE2. Our main co...
متن کاملThe probability that planar loop-erased random walk uses a given edge
We give a new proof of a result of Rick Kenyon that the probability that an edge in the middle of an n × n square is used in a loop-erased walk connecting opposites sides is of order n−3/4. We, in fact, improve the result by showing that this estimate is correct up to multiplicative constants.

Let Sn be a simple random walk (SRW) defined on Z . We construct a stochastic process from Sn by erasing loops of length at most N , where α ∈ (0,∞) and N is the scaling parameter that will be taken to infinity in determining the limiting distribution. We call this process the N loop erased walk (N LEW). Under some assumptions we will prove that for 0 < α < 1 1+2ζ , the limiting distribution is...
متن کاملBoundary Behavior of Sle
Introduction. Several lattice models from statistical physics such as random walks (RWs), loop-erased random walks (LERWs), self-avoiding random walks (SAWs), and critical FK (Fortuin and Kasteleyn) percolations have been shown or are conjectured to be invariant under conformal mappings. The stochastic Loewner evolution (SLE) was first introduced by O. Schramm as a possible scaling limit for th...
