Weakly self-avoiding walk free-energy correction

About 9 years old · traced to

For d≥3d\geq 3, let fwsaw(u)f^{\mathrm{wsaw}}(u) be the weakly self-avoiding walk free energy and let λd\lambda_d be the constant defined from the simple random walk Green function. Weakly self-avoiding walk conjecture. There are constants ad>0a_d>0 such that, as u↓0u\downarrow 0,

λdu−fwsaw(u)∼{a3u3/2,d=3,a4u2log⁡(1/u),d=4,adu2,d≥5.\lambda_du-f^{\mathrm{wsaw}}(u)\sim\begin{cases}a_3u^{3/2},&d=3,\\a_4u^2\log(1/u),&d=4,\\a_du^2,&d\geq 5. \end{cases}

This predicts the first correction beyond the linear weak-coupling term in dimensions three and higher. The source presents it as a conjectural higher-order expansion and does not provide a proof.
