Hölder regularity and dimension bounds for random curves (Q1974951)

Consider for every \(\delta\in ]0,1]\) a probability measure \(\gamma_\delta\) on a closed set of polygonal paths of step-size \(\delta\), contained in some fixed compact subset of \(\mathbb{R}^d\). The aim of this work is to yield general criteria giving information on the existence and the support of weak limits of \(\gamma_\delta\), as \(\delta\downarrow 0\). The first criterion requires a uniform control of multiple crossings of spherical shells by the paths, and guarantees the existence of some weak limit of \(\gamma_\delta\), supported by curves having a common upper bound on their Hausdorff dimension. The second criterion requires a uniform control on simultaneous crossings of separated cylinders by the paths, and guarantees a uniform lower bound, strictly larger than 1, for the Hausdorff dimension of the curves supporting any weak limit of \(\gamma_\delta\). Main examples are given by percolation models and random spanning trees.
