We describe how the recent proof of the existence and conformal covariance of the scaling limits of dynamical and near-critical planar percolation implies the existence and several topological properties of the scaling limit of the Minimal Spanning Tree, and that it is invariant under scalings, rotations and translations. However, we do not expect conformal invariance: we explain why not and what is missing for a proof.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-09-17T01:29:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "minimal spanning tree", "scaling limit", "preliminary report", "xvith international congress", "near-critical planar percolation implies" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0909.3138G" } } }
