Abstract

We prove that the scaling limit of the weakly self-avoiding walk on a dd-dimensional discrete torus is Brownian motion on the continuum torus if the length of the rescaled walk is o(V1/2)o(V^{1/2}) where VV is the volume (number of points) of the torus and if d>4d>4. We also prove that the diffusion constant of the resulting torus Brownian motion is the same as the diffusion constant of the scaling limit of the usual weakly self-avoiding walk on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d. This provides further manifestation of the fact that the weakly self-avoiding walk model on the torus does not feel that it is on the torus up until it reaches about V1/2V^{1/2} steps which we believe is sharp.
