The logarithmic-correction conjecture for loop-erased random walk in dimension four

About 23 years old · traced to

Let LL be a loop-erased random walk on the four-dimensional (N,4)(N,4)-torus. Its mean-field scale is N2N^2.

Four-dimensional logarithmic-correction conjecture. The accurate upper-bound scale for the length of LL is

N2log⁡1/6N.N^2\log^{1/6}N.

The paper proves an upper bound of the form N2+ϵN^{2+\epsilon} for every ϵ>0\epsilon>0 and reports evidence for the sharper logarithmic correction above. Determining this precise correction remains open in the supplied source.
