We prove that $(Q_{\\mathrm{zip}} , \\lambda_{\\mathrm{zip}})$ converges in the scaling limit to the metric gluing of two independent Brownian half-planes identified along their positive boundary rays. Combined with other work of the authors, this implies the convergence of the SAW on a random quadrangulation to SLE$_{8/3}$ on a certain $\\sqrt{8/3}$-Liouville quantum gravity surface. The topology of convergence is the local Gromov-Hausdorff-Prokhorov-uniform topology, the natural generalization of the local Gromov-Hausdorff topology to curve-decorated metric measure spaces. We also prove analogous scaling limit results for uniform infinite quadrangulations of the whole plane decorated by either a one-sided or two-sided SAW.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-08-02T19:41:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random quadrangulation", "self-avoiding walk", "uniform infinite quadrangulation", "convergence", "liouville quantum gravity surface" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 63, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
