Driven periodic elastic systems such as charge-density waves (CDWs) pinned by impurities show a non-trivial, glassy dynamical critical behavior. Their proper theoretical description requires the functional renormalization group. We show…

The loop-erased random walk (LERW) in $\mathbb{Z}^4$ is the process obtained by erasing loops chronologically for simple random walk. We prove that the escape probability of the LERW renormalized by $(\log n)^{\frac{1}{3}}$ converges almost…

We give evidence that the functional renormalization group (FRG), developed to study disordered systems, may provide a field theoretic description for the loop-erased random walk (LERW), allowing to compute its fractal dimension in a…

Loop-erased random walk, abbreviated LERW, is one of the most well-studied critical lattice models. It is the self-avoiding random walk one gets after erasing the loops from a simple random walk in order or alternatively by considering the…

Let $S = (S(n))$ be a simple random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ started at the origin. We study a loop-erasing procedure of $S[0,n]$ that differs from Lawler's chronological loop-erasure. Specifically, we remove loops from $S[0,n]$ in…

The infinite two-sided loop-erased random walk (LERW) is a measure on infinite self-avoiding walks that can be viewed as giving the law of the `middle part' of an infinite LERW loop going through 0 and infinity. In this note we derive…

Two dimensional loop erased random walk (LERW) is a random curve, whose continuum limit is known to be a Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) with parameter kappa=2. In this article we study ``off-critical loop erased random walks'', loop…

We measure the fractal dimension of loop-erased random walk (LERW) in 3 dimensions, and estimate that it is 1.62400 +- 0.00005. LERW is closely related to the uniform spanning tree and the abelian sandpile model. We simulated LERW on both…

The loop-erased random walk (LERW) in $ \Z^d, d \geq 2$, is obtained by erasing loops chronologically from simple random walk. In this paper we show the existence of the two-sided LERW which can be considered as the distribution of the LERW…

Loop-erased random walk and it's scaling limit, Schramm--Loewner evolution, have found numerous applications in mathematics and physics. We present a 2 dimensional analogue of LERW, the loop erased random surface. We do this by defining a 2…

We develop an approach for performing scaling analysis of $N$-step Random Walks (RWs). The mean square end-to-end distance, $\langle\vec{R}_{N}^{2}\rangle$, is written in terms of inner persistence lengths (IPLs), which we define by the…
