Nienhuis's conformal invariance conjecture for self-avoiding walks

Let DD be a domain with boundary points AA and BB, and let PD,A,BSAWP_{D,A,B}^{SAW} denote a scaling limit of measures on self-avoiding curves from AA to BB in DD, assigning weight proportional to μn(ω)\mu^{-n(\omega)} to a walk ω\omega, where n(ω)n(\omega) is its number of steps and μ\mu is the connective constant. Nienhuis's conjecture. The scaling limits PD,A,BSAWP_{D,A,B}^{SAW} exist and are conformally invariant in the sense of Proposition~. This conjecture formalizes the predicted conformal invariance of self-avoiding walks, whose scaling limit is expected to have fractal dimension 4/34/3; neither existence nor the stated conformal invariance is established in the source.
