The harmonic explorer and its convergence to SLE(4)

Oded Schramm, Scott Sheffield

Published 2003-10-15, updated 2006-02-09Version 3

The harmonic explorer is a random grid path. Very roughly, at each step the harmonic explorer takes a turn to the right with probability equal to the discrete harmonic measure of the left-hand side of the path from a point near the end of the current path. We prove that the harmonic explorer converges to SLE(4) as the grid gets finer.
