| In [[mathematics]], '''loop-erased random walk''' is a model for a [[random]] [[path (graph theory)|simple path]] with important applications in [[combinatorics]] and, in [[physics]], [[quantum field theory]]. It is intimately connected to the '''uniform spanning tree''', a model for a random [[Tree (graph theory)|tree]]. See also ''[[random walk]]'' for more general treatment of this topic.

| ==Definition==
| |
| Assume ''G'' is some [[Graph (mathematics)|graph]] and <math>\gamma</math> is some [[path (graph theory)|path]] of length ''n'' on ''G''. In other words, <math>\gamma(1),\dots,\gamma(n)</math> are vertices of ''G'' such that <math>\gamma(i)</math> and <math>\gamma(i+1)</math> are neighbors. Then the '''loop erasure''' of <math>\gamma</math> is a new simple path created by erasing all the loops of <math>\gamma</math> in chronological order. Formally, we define indices <math>i_j</math> [[Mathematical induction|inductively]] using
| |
| | |
| :<math>i_1 = 1\,</math>
| |
| :<math>i_{j+1}=\max\{i:\gamma(i)=\gamma(i_j)\}+1\,</math>
| |
| | |
| where "max" here means up to the length of the path <math>\gamma</math>. The induction stops when for some <math>i_j</math> we have <math>\gamma(i_j)=\gamma(n)</math>. Assume this happens at ''J'' i.e. <math>i_J</math> is the last <math>i_j</math>. Then the loop erasure of <math>\gamma</math>, denoted by <math>\mathrm{LE}(\gamma)</math> is a simple path of length ''J'' defined by
| |
| | |
| :<math>\mathrm{LE}(\gamma)(j)=\gamma(i_j).\,</math>
| |
| | |
| Now let ''G'' be some graph, let ''v'' be a vertex of ''G'', and let ''R'' be a random walk on ''G'' starting from ''v''. Let ''T'' be some [[stopping time]] for ''R''. Then the '''loop-erased random walk''' until time ''T'' is LE(''R''([1,''T''])). In other words, take ''R'' from its beginning until ''T'' — that's a (random) path — erase all the loops in chronological order as above — you get a random simple path.
| |
| | |
| The stopping time ''T'' may be fixed, i.e. one may perform ''n'' steps and then loop-erase. However, it is usually more natural to take ''T'' to be the [[hitting time]] in some set. For example, let ''G'' be the graph '''Z'''<sup>2</sup> and let ''R'' be a random walk starting from the point (0,0). Let ''T'' be the time when ''R'' first hits the circle of radius 100 (we mean here of course a ''discretized'' circle). LE(''R'') is called the loop-erased random walk starting at (0,0) and stopped at the circle. | |
| | |
| ==The uniform spanning tree==
| |
| Let ''G'' again be a graph. A [[spanning tree (mathematics)|spanning tree]] of ''G'' is a [[Glossary of graph theory#Subgraphs|subgraph]] of ''G'' containing all vertices and some of the edges, which is a [[tree (graph theory)|tree]], i.e. [[Glossary of graph theory#Connectivity|connected]] and with no [[Glossary of graph theory#cycle|cycles]]. The uniform spanning tree (UST for short) is a ''random'' spanning tree chosen among all the possible spanning trees of ''G'' with equal probability.
| |
| | |
| Let now ''v'' and ''w'' be two vertices in ''G''. Any spanning tree contains precisely one simple path between ''v'' and ''w''. Taking this path in the ''uniform'' spanning tree gives a random simple path. It turns out that the distribution of this path is identical to the distribution of the loop-erased random walk starting at ''v'' and stopped at ''w''.
| |
| | |
| An immediate corollary is that loop-erased random walk is symmetric in its start and end points. More precisely, the distribution of the loop-erased random walk starting at ''v'' and stopped at ''w'' is identical to the distribution of the reversal of loop-erased random walk starting at ''w'' and stopped at ''v''. This is not a trivial fact at all! Loop-erasing a path and the reverse path do not give the same result. It is only the ''distributions'' that are identical.
| |
| | |
| A-priori [[Sampling (statistics)|sampling]] a UST seems difficult. Even a relatively modest graph (say a 100x100 grid) has far too many spanning trees to prepare a complete list. Therefore a different approach is needed. There are a number of algorithms for sampling a UST, but we will concentrate on '''Wilson's algorithm'''.
| |
| | |
| Take any two vertices and perform loop-erased random walk from one to the other. Now take a third vertex (not on the constructed path) and perform loop-erased random walk until hitting the already constructed path. This gives a tree with either two or three leaves. Choose a fourth vertex and do loop-erased random walk until hitting this tree. Continue until the tree spans all the vertices. It turns out that ''no matter which method you use to choose the starting vertices'' you always end up with the same distribution on the spanning trees, namely the uniform one.
| |
| | |
| ==The Laplacian random walk==
| |
| Another representation of loop-erased random walk stems from solutions of the [[Discrete mathematics|discrete]] [[Laplace equation]]. Let again ''G'' be a graph and let ''v'' and ''w'' be two vertices in ''G''. Construct a random path from ''v'' to ''w'' inductively using the following procedure. Assume we have already defined <math>\gamma(1),...,\gamma(n)</math>. Let ''f'' be a function from ''G'' to '''R''' satisfying
| |
| | |
| :<math>f(\gamma(i))=0</math> for all <math>i\leq n</math> and <math>f(w)=1</math>
| |
| :''f'' is discretely [[Harmonic function|harmonic]] everywhere else
| |
| | |
| Where a function ''f'' on a graph is discretely harmonic at a point ''x'' if ''f''(''x'') equals the average of ''f'' on the neighbors of ''x''.
| |
| | |
| With ''f'' defined choose <math>\gamma(n+1)</math> using ''f'' at the neighbors of <math>\gamma(n)</math> as weights. In other words, if <math>x_1,...,x_d</math> are these neighbors, choose <math>x_i</math> with probability
| |
| | |
| :<math>\frac{f(x_i)}{\sum_{j=1}^d f(x_j)}.</math>
| |
| | |
| Continue this process, (notice that at each step you have to calculate ''f'' again) and you will end up with a random simple path from ''v'' to ''w''. It turns out that the distribution of this path is identical to that of a loop-erased random walk from ''v'' to ''w''.
| |
| | |
| An alternative view is that the distribution of a loop-erased random walk [[Conditional probability|conditioned]] to start in some path β is identical to the loop-erasure of a random walk conditioned not to hit β. This property is often referred to as the '''Markov property''' of loop-erased random walk (the relation to the usual [[Markov property]] is somewhat vague).
| |
| | |
| It is important to notice that while the proof of the equivalence is quite easy, normally models which involve dynamically changing harmonic functions or measures are extremely difficult to analyze. Practically nothing is known about the [[p-Laplacian walk]] or [[Brownian tree|diffusion-limited aggregation]]. Another somewhat related model is the [[harmonic explorer]].
| |
| | |
| Finally there is another link that should be mentioned: [[Kirchhoff's theorem]] relates the number of spanning trees of a graph ''G'' to the [[eigenvalue]]s of the discrete [[Laplacian]]. See [[spanning tree (mathematics)|spanning tree]] for details.
| |
| | |
| ==Grids== | |
| Let ''d'' be the dimension, which we will assume to be at least 2. Examine '''Z'''<sup>''d''</sup> i.e. all the points <math>(a_1,...,a_d)</math> with integer <math>a_i</math>. This is an infinite graph with degree 2''d'' when you connect each point to its nearest neighbors. From now on we will consider loop-erased random walk on this graph or its subgraphs.
| |
| | |
| ===High dimensions===
| |
| The easiest case to analyze is dimension 5 and above. In this case it turns out that there the intersections are only local. A calculation shows that if one takes a random walk of length ''n'', its loop-erasure has length of the same order of magnitude, i.e. ''n''. Scaling accordingly, it turns out that loop-erased random walk converges (in an appropriate sense) to [[Brownian motion]] as ''n'' goes to infinity. Dimension 4 is more complicated, but the general picture is still true. It turns out that the loop-erasure of a random walk of length ''n'' has approximately <math>n/\log^{1/3}n</math> vertices, but again, after scaling (that takes into account the logarithmic factor) the loop-erased walk converges to Brownian motion. | |
| | |
| ===Two dimensions===
| |
| In two dimensions, arguments from [[conformal field theory]] and simulation results led to a number of exciting conjectures. Assume ''D'' is some [[simply connected]] [[Domain (mathematics)|domain]] in the plane and ''x'' is a point in ''D''. Take the graph ''G'' to be
| |
| | |
| :<math>G:=D\cap \varepsilon \mathbb{Z}^2,</math>
| |
| | |
| that is, a grid of side length ε restricted to ''D''. Let ''v'' be the vertex of ''G'' closest to ''x''. Examine now a loop-erased random walk starting from ''v'' and stopped when hitting the "boundary" of ''G'', i.e. the vertices of ''G'' which correspond to the boundary of ''D''. Then the conjectures are
| |
| * As ε goes to zero the distribution of the path converges to some distribution on simple paths from ''x'' to the boundary of ''D'' (different from Brownian motion, of course — in 2 dimensions paths of Brownian motion are not simple). This distribution (denote it by <math>S_{D,x}</math>) is called the '''scaling limit''' of loop-erased random walk.
| |
| * These distributions are [[Conformal map|conformally invariant]]. Namely, if φ is a [[Riemann mapping theorem|Riemann map]] between ''D'' and a second domain ''E'' then
| |
| | |
| :<math>\phi(S_{D,x})=S_{E,\phi(x)}.\,</math> | |
| | |
| *The [[Hausdorff dimension]] of these paths is 5/4 [[almost surely]].
| |
| | |
| The first attack at these conjectures came from the direction of '''[[domino tiling]]s'''. Taking a spanning tree of ''G'' and adding to it its [[Planar graph|planar dual]] one gets a [[Dominoes|domino]] tiling of a special derived graph (call it ''H''). Each vertex of ''H'' corresponds to a vertex, edge or face of ''G'', and the edges of ''H'' show which vertex lies on which edge and which edge on which face. It turns out that taking a uniform spanning tree of ''G'' leads to a uniformly distributed random domino tiling of ''H''. The number of domino tilings of a graph can be calculated using the determinant of special matrices, which allow to connect it to the discrete [[Green function]] which is approximately conformally invariant. These arguments allowed to show that certain measurables of loop-erased random walk are (in the limit) conformally invariant, and that the [[Expected value|expected]] number of vertices in a loop-erased random walk stopped at a circle of radius ''r'' is of the order of <math>r^{5/4}</math>.
| |
| | |
| In 2002 these conjectures were resolved (positively) using [[Stochastic Löwner Evolution]]. Very roughly, it is a stochastic conformally invariant [[partial differential equation]] which allows to catch the Markov property of loop-erased random walk (and many other probabilistic processes).
| |
| | |
| ===Three dimensions===
| |
| The scaling limit exists and is invariant under rotations and dilations.<ref>Kozma, Gady (2007) "The scaling limit of loop-erased random walk in three dimensions", ''Acta Mathematica'', 199 (1), 29–152 {{doi|10.1007/s11511-007-0018-8}} [http://arxiv.org/abs/math.PR/0508344 preprint]</ref> If <math>L(r)</math> denotes the expected number of vertices in the loop-erased random walk until it gets to a distance of ''r'', then
| |
| | |
| :<math>cr^{1+\varepsilon}\leq L(r)\leq Cr^{5/3}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| where ε, ''c'' and ''C'' are some positive numbers <ref>Lawler, Gregory F. (1999) "Loop-erased random walk", in ''Perplexing problems in probability: Festschrift in honor of Harry Kesten'' (M. Bramson and R. T. Durrett, eds.), Progr. Probab., vol. 44, Birkhäuser Boston, Boston, MA, 1999, pp. 197–217.</ref> (the numbers can, in principle, be calculated from the proofs, but the author did not do it). This suggests that the scaling limit should have Hausdorff dimension between <math>1+\varepsilon</math> and 5/3 almost surely. Numerical experiments show that it should be <math>1.62400\pm 0.00005</math>.<ref>Wilson, David B. (2010) "The dimension of loop-erased random walk in 3D", ''Physical Review E'',82(6):062102.</ref>
