Abstract

AbstractWe 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 $$n^2 (\log n)^{-1/3+o(1)}$$
