Logarithmic Corrections to the Alexander–Orbach Conjecture for the Four-Dimensional Uniform Spanning Tree

Abstract We compute the precise logarithmic corrections to Alexander–Orbach behaviour for various quantities describing the geometric and spectral properties of the four-dimensional uniform spanning tree. In particular, we prove that the volume of an intrinsic n -ball in the tree is $$n^2 (\log n)^{-1/3+o(1)}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mo>log</mml:mo> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:mi>o</mml:mi> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> , that the typical intrinsic displacement of an n -step random walk is $$n^{1/3} (\log n)^{1/9-o(1)}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mo>log</mml:mo> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> <mml:mn>9</mml:mn> <mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:mi>o</mml:mi> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> , and that the n -step return probability of the walk decays as $$n^{-2/3}(\log n)^{1/9-o(1)}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mo>log</mml:mo> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> <mml:mn>9</mml:mn> <mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:mi>o</mml:mi> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> .
