Gaussian upper-bound conjecture for walk counts on a high-dimensional torus

Let cnTc_n^{\mathbb{T}} be the nn-step weakly self-avoiding-walk count on the torus, let μ\mu be the growth constant on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d, and let VV be the number of vertices in the torus. Gaussian upper-bound conjecture. Let d>4d>4 and let β(0,1]\beta\in(0,1]. There exist K,α>0K,\alpha>0, depending on β\beta, such that, for all n0n\geq 0,

cnTKμneαn2/V.c_n^{\mathbb{T}}\leq K\mu^n e^{-\alpha n^2/V}.

The conjecture is intended to describe the onset of finite-volume effects at lengths of order V1/2V^{1/2} and is presented as an upper bound paralleling the complete-graph behaviour. The supplied text gives no resolution.
