Abstract

We study Brownian loop soup clusters in R3\mathbb{R}^3 for an arbitrary intensity α>0\alpha>0. We show the existence of a phase transition for the presence of unbounded clusters and study its basic properties. In particular, we show that, when α\alpha is sufficiently large, almost surely all the loops are connected into a single cluster. Such a phenomenon is not observed in discrete percolation-type models. In addition, we prove the existence of a one-arm exponent and compare the clusters with the finite-range system obtained by imposing lower and upper bounds on the diameter of the loops. Finally, we provide a toolbox concerning the Brownian loop measure in Rd\mathbb{R}^d, d3d \ge 3. In particular, we derive decomposition formulas by rerooting the loops in specific ways and show that the loop measure is conformally invariant, generalising results of [Lup18] in dimension 1 and [LW04] in dimension 2.
