Abstract

The leading and next to leading terms of the average arithmetic area <S(m)>< S(m)> enclosed by mm\to\infty independent closed Brownian planar paths, with a given length tt and starting from and ending at the same point, is calculated. The leading term is found to be <S(m)>πt2lnm< S(m) > \sim {\pi t\over 2}\ln m and the 00-winding sector arithmetic area inside the mm paths is subleading in the asymptotic regime. A closed form expression for the algebraic area distribution is also obtained and discussed.
