The radial SLE scaling-limit conjecture for multiple self-avoiding walks

Suppose DD is a bounded, simply connected domain in C\mathbb{C} containing the origin, and let z=(z1,,zn){\bf z}=(z^1,\ldots,z^n) be an nn-tuple of distinct, counterclockwise-oriented points on D\partial D. Assume that near each zjz^j, the boundary is a straight line segment parallel to the coordinate axes. For lattice spacing N1N^{-1}, let ANA_N approximate NDND in Z2\mathbb{Z}^2, and let zN=(zN1,,zNn){\bf z}_N=(z^1_N,\ldots,z^n_N) be lattice points corresponding to NzN{\bf z}. For the model with parameter \cent1\cent\leq 1, write νAN,\cent\nu_{A_N,\cent} for the measure on configurations and WˉAN(zN)\bar{\mathcal W}_{A_N}({\bf z}_N) for the relevant configuration space.

Radial SLE scaling-limit conjecture. There exist bb, b~n\tilde b_n, a critical value β=β\cent\beta=\beta_{\cent}, and a partition function Ψ(D;z,0)\Psi^*(D;{\bf z},0) such that, as NN\to\infty,

νAN,\cent(WˉAN(zN))Ψ(D;z,0)NnbNb~n.\nu_{A_N,\cent}(\bar{\mathcal W}_{A_N}({\bf z}_N))\sim \Psi^*(D;{\bf z},0)N^{nb}N^{\tilde b_n}.

Moreover, the scaling limit NnbNb~nνAN,\centN^{-nb}N^{-\tilde b_n}\nu_{A_N,\cent} is nn-radial SLEκSLE_\kappa, denoted μD(z,0)\mu_D({\bf z},0), with partition function Ψ(D;z,0)\Psi(D;{\bf z},0). If f:Df(D)f:D\to f(D) is conformal and f(0)=0f(0)=0, then

fμD(z,0)=f(z)bf(0)b~nμf(D)(f(z),0),f\circ\mu_D({\bf z},0)=|f'({\bf z})|^b|f'(0)|^{\tilde b_n}\mu_{f(D)}(f({\bf z}),0),

where f(z)=(f(z1),,f(zn))f({\bf z})=(f(z^1),\ldots,f(z^n)) and f(z)=f(z1)f(zn)f'({\bf z})=f'(z^1)\cdots f'(z^n). This conjectures the conformally covariant scaling limit of the lattice model to multiple radial Schramm–Loewner evolution; for other cases, the paper identifies the problem as open.
