Renormalisation group analysis of weakly self-avoiding walk in dimensions four and higher

Abstract

We outline a proof, by a rigorous renormalisation group method, that the critical two-point function for continuous-time weakly self-avoiding walk on Z^d decays as |x|^{-(d-2)} in the critical dimension d=4, and also for all d>4.
