Giscard" ], "categories": [ "math.CO" ], "abstract": "We use combinatorial sieves to prove exact, explicit and compact formulas for the fraction of all closed walks on any finite or infinite vertex-transitive graph whose last erased loop is any chosen self-avoiding polygon (SAP). In stark contrast with approaches based on probability theory, we proceed via purely deterministic arguments relying on Viennot's theory of heaps of pieces seen as a semi-commutative extension of number theory. This approach sheds light on the origin of the discrepancies between exponents stemming from loop-erased walk and self-avoiding polygon models, and suggests a natural route to bridge the gap between both. Our results are illustrated by calculations on the infinite square lattice.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-01-07T14:56:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C38", "05A15", "11N36" ], "keywords": [ "walk multiples", "asymptotic counts", "approach sheds light", "infinite square lattice", "number theory" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
