Abstract

We prove that, under the all-length critical measure, a honeycomb bridge crossing a strip of h layers, with its initial port fixed and its terminal port free, has mean length $h^{4/3+o(1)}$. We also obtain central visit probability $R^{-2/3+o(1)}$ and mean length $R^{4/3+o(1)}$ for macroscopic free-boundary chords in a regular hexagon.

Family 237: The three-quarter exponent for honeycomb self-avoiding walk

Proves the diameter form of Nienhuis's predicted three-quarter exponent: a uniformly chosen n-step self-avoiding walk on the honeycomb lattice has diameter $n^{3/4+o(1)}$. Its local mass and covering numbers have exponent 4/3. These estimates hold at every sufficiently large fixed length, simultaneously across scales, with arbitrarily high polynomial probability.
