Uniqueness conjecture for the Brownian path decomposition
Uniqueness conjecture for the Brownian path decomposition
Let be the unit ball, let be the space of compact subsets of equipped with the Hausdorff metric, and let be the set of simple paths starting at and meeting only at their endpoint. Let and be random elements of such that almost surely, and let be a Brownian loop soup in the unit ball independent of both.
Uniqueness conjecture. If, for each , the union of and all loops from intersecting has the same law as the trace of Brownian motion stopped upon exiting the unit ball, then and have the same law in .
In two dimensions, the analogous decomposition is obtained from the scaling limit of loop-erased random walk, namely ; in three dimensions the paper proves that subsequential scaling limits are simple paths and gives the corresponding Brownian-loop-soup decomposition, but uniqueness of the law of the simple path remains conjectural.
