Self-Avoiding Walk on a Hierarchical Lattice in Four Dimensions

Abstract

We define a Levy process on a $d$-dimensional hierarchical lattice. By construction the Green's function for this process decays as $|x|^{2-d}$. For $d = 4$, we prove that the introduction of a sufficiently weak self-avoidance interaction does not change this decay provided the mass $\equiv$ "killing" rate is chosen in a special way, so that the process is critical.
