Abstract: We consider line ensembles of non-intersecting random walks constrained by a hard wall, each tilted by the area underneath it with geometrically growing pre-factors $mathfrak{b}^i$ where $mathfrakb>1$. This is a model for the level lines of the $(2+1)$D SOS model above a hard wall, which itself mimics the low-temperature 3D Ising interface. A similar model with $mathfrakb=1$ and a fixed number of curves was studied by Ioffe, Velenik, and Wachtel (2018), who derived a scaling limit as the time interval $[-N,N]$ tends to infinity. Line ensembles of Brownian bridges with geometric area tilts ($mathfrakb>1$) were studied by Caputo, Ioffe, and Wachtel (2019), and later by Dembo, Lubetzky, and Zeitouni (2022). Their results show that as the time interval and the number of curves $n$ tend to infinity, the top $k$ paths converge to a limiting measure $mu$. In this paper we address the open problem of proving existence of a scaling limit for random walk ensembles with geometric area tilts. We prove that with mild assumptions on the jump distribution, under suitable scaling the top $k$ paths converge to the same measure $mu$ as $Noinfty$ followed by $noinfty$. We do so both in the case of bridges fixed at $pmN$ and of walks fixed only at $-N$.
