On the probability that self-avoiding walk ends at a given point
Hugo Duminil-Copin, Alexander Glazman, Alan Hammond, and Ioan Manolescu
Abstract
We prove two results on the delocalization of the endpoint of a uniform self-avoiding walk on $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ for $d\geq2$. We show that the probability that a walk of length $n$ ends at a point $x$ tends to $0$ as $n$ tends to infinity, uniformly in $x$. Also, when $x$ is fixed, with $\Vert x\Vert=1$, this probability decreases faster than $n^{-1/4+\varepsilon}$ for any $\varepsilon>0$. This provides a bound on the probability that a self-avoiding walk is a polygon.
