Hausdorff dimension of the scaling limit of loop-erased random walk in three dimensions (Q2320384): Difference between revisions

It is known that a loop-erased random walk (LERW) is a simple path obtained by erasing all loops from a random walk path chronologically [\textit{G. F. Lawler}, Duke Math. J. 47, 655--693 (1980; Zbl 0445.60058)]. In the present paper, the author studies the Hausdorff dimension of the scaling limit of LERW in three dimensions. If \(M_n\) is the length (number of steps) of the loop-erasure of a simple random walk up to the first exit from a ball of radius \(n\) centered at its starting point. It was known that there exists \(\beta \in (1,5/3]\) such that \(E(M_n)\) is of order \(n^\beta\) in 3 dimensions. The main result of this paper is to show that the Hausdorff dimension of the scaling limit of the loop-erased random walk in 3 dimensions is equal to \(\beta\) almost surely.
