Loop measures and the Gaussian free field

Probability 2014-06-26 v3

Abstract

Loop measures and their associated loop soups are generally viewed as arising from finite state Markov chains. We generalize several results to loop measures arising from potentially complex edge weights. We discuss two applications: Wilson's algorithm to produce uniform spanning trees and an isomorphism theorem due to Le Jan.
