Hypergeometric SLE with $\kappa=8$: Convergence of UST and LERW in Topological Rectangles

Probability 2023-10-24 v5

Abstract

We consider uniform spanning tree (UST) in topological rectangles with alternating boundary conditions. The Peano curves associated to the UST converge weakly to hypergeometric SLE8_8, denoted by hSLE8_8. From the convergence result, we obtain the continuity and reversibility of hSLE8_8 as well as an interesting connection between SLE8_8 and hSLE8_8. The loop-erased random walk (LERW) branch in the UST converges weakly to SLE2(1,1;1,1)_2(-1, -1; -1, -1). We also obtain the limiting joint distribution of the two end points of the LERW branch.
