We provide here a detailed proof, which relies on Smirnov's theorem that crossing probabilities have a conformally invariant scaling limit (given by Cardy's formula). The version of convergence to SLE(6) that we prove suffices for the Smirnov-Werner derivation of certain critical percolation crossing exponents and for our analysis of the critical percolation full scaling limit as a process of continuum nonsimple loops.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-11-07T11:04:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82B27", "60K35", "82B43", "60D05", "30C35" ], "keywords": [ "critical percolation exploration path", "convergence", "critical site percolation exploration path", "critical percolation full scaling limit", "triangular lattice converges" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 45, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......4487C" } } }
