Lawler–Schramm–Werner scaling-limit conjecture for self-avoiding walks

Let Ω\Omega be a simply connected domain in C\mathbb{C} with boundary points aa and bb, and let (Ωδ,aδ,bδ)(\Omega_\delta,a_\delta,b_\delta) be discrete approximations. At the critical fugacity z=zcz=z_c, let ωδ\omega_\delta be the self-avoiding walk from aδa_\delta to bδb_\delta in Ωδ\Omega_\delta, sampled with Boltzmann weight proportional to z(ω)z^{\ell(\omega)}. Lawler–Schramm–Werner conjecture. For z=zcz=z_c, the random curve ωδ\omega_\delta converges to SLE8/3\mathrm{SLE}_{8/3} from aa to bb in the domain Ω\Omega. This would establish the predicted conformally invariant scaling limit of critical self-avoiding walk; existence and conformal invariance of that scaling limit remain open, although the identification of any such limit with SLE8/3\mathrm{SLE}_{8/3} is supported by the work of Lawler, Schramm, and Werner.
