Schramm–Loewner evolution scaling-limit conjecture for self-avoiding walks

Let ΩC\Omega\ne\mathbb C be a simply connected domain with distinct boundary points aa and bb. For δ>0\delta>0, let Ωδ\Omega_\delta be the discrete approximation in δH\delta\mathbb H, let aδa_\delta and bδb_\delta be the corresponding closest boundary vertices, and let γδ\gamma_\delta be sampled with probability proportional to x(γ)x^{\ell(\gamma)} among self-avoiding trajectories from aδa_\delta to bδb_\delta in Ωδ\Omega_\delta.

Self-avoiding-walk SLE conjecture. For x=xcx=x_c, the law of γδ\gamma_\delta in (Ωδ,aδ,bδ)(\Omega_\delta,a_\delta,b_\delta) converges as δ0\delta\to0 to chordal Schramm–Loewner Evolution with parameter κ=8/3\kappa=8/3 in Ω\Omega from aa to bb.

Conformal invariance of this scaling limit would imply the predicted critical exponents γ=43/32\gamma=43/32 and ν=3/4\nu=3/4, but convergence is not proved in the source.
