Proves the diameter form of Nienhuis's predicted three-quarter exponent: a uniformly chosen n-step self-avoiding walk on the honeycomb lattice has diameter n^{3/4+o(1)}. Its local mass and covering numbers have exponent 4/3. These estimates hold at every sufficiently large fixed length, simultaneously across scales, with arbitrarily high polynomial probability.

Radial transfer estimates and polygon length laws for honeycomb walks
September 26, 2026 · source · cite as \cite{OAI:Radial-transfer-estimates-and-polygon-length-laws-for-honeycomb-walks-September-26-2026}
We prove critical diameter-tail exponents −2 for unrooted honeycomb polygons and −2/3 for length-weighted polygons, together with a truncated second-length-moment bound of exponent 2/3. Consequently, polygons conditioned to have length at least n have diameter n^{3/4+o(1)} in probability under either weight.
Critical honeycomb chords with prescribed boundary endpoints
September 26, 2026 · source · Lean formalization available · cite as \cite{OAI:Critical-honeycomb-chords-with-prescribed-boundary-endpoints-September-26-2026}
Critical self-avoiding walks between prescribed, macroscopically separated boundary ports of a regular honeycomb hexagon have length R^{4/3+o(1)} in probability, where R is the scale of the hexagon. We prove the corresponding statements for half-plane arches, parallel cuts and nonparallel pure cuts. The half-plane law also has mean length R^{4/3+o(1)}. A separate strip argument gives endpoint mean laws on one density-one set of heights and in an aligned, critically weighted mixture of all even heights in a macroscopic interval.
Cylinder loop weights and planar nesting
September 26, 2026 · source · cite as \cite{OAI:Cylinder-loop-weights-and-planar-nesting-September-26-2026}
We determine the growth exponent, at every fixed positive loop fugacity, of the critical honeycomb partition function for disjoint polygons separating two prescribed markers on a balanced cylinder. At fugacity two the cylinder exponent is 1/6; the corresponding planar nesting exponent and middle-strip nesting exponent are 1/12.
Mass and covering exponents for fixed-length honeycomb walks

For uniform self-avoiding walks of every sufficiently large integer length on the honeycomb lattice, we prove diameter exponent 3/4 and simultaneous local-mass and covering exponent 4/3, with arbitrary positive exponent slack and arbitrary polynomial failure probability.
Signed cylinder propagation and marked polygons on the honeycomb lattice
September 26, 2026 · source · cite as \cite{OAI:Signed-cylinder-propagation-and-marked-polygons-on-the-honeycomb-lattice-September-26-2026}
At the critical activity and loop fugacity two, we prove a 1/6 partition exponent for disjoint honeycomb polygons separating opposite marks on a balanced infinite cylinder, and a 1/12 planar nesting exponent. For ordered first-exit chords in a regular hexagon of side R, with both boundary ports summed and diameter at least R/10, the finite critical partition is R^{3/4+o(1)} and the normalized mean length is R^{4/3+o(1)}. A separate two-bond estimate on tilted cylinders with controlled site proportions bounds the length-square mass of planar polygons of diameter at most H, modulo translations, by H^{2/3+o(1)}.
Cylinder amplitudes and logarithmic bridge-length windows on the honeycomb lattice
September 26, 2026 · source · cite as \cite{OAI:Cylinder-amplitudes-and-logarithmic-bridge-length-windows-on-the-honeycomb-lattice-September-26-2026}
We prove a logarithmic window of critical honeycomb bridge lengths: summed through height 2h(\log h)^{1/64}, bridges of lengths between h^{4/3}(\log h)^{-1/8} and 2h^{4/3}(\log h)^{1/2} have mass at least h^{3/4}(\log h)^{-C}.
Marked polygon correlations and one-arc bounds
September 26, 2026 · source · cite as \cite{OAI:Marked-polygon-correlations-and-one-arc-bounds-September-26-2026}
At the critical honeycomb vertex activity, the squared-length mass of simple polygons of diameter at most H, counted modulo translations, is at most H^{2/3+o(1)}. We also prove a quantitative two-mark cylinder estimate and a polynomial one-arc bound uniform even for arbitrarily unequal marked intervals.
Disk transfer representations and confined bridge mass
September 26, 2026 · source · cite as \cite{OAI:Disk-transfer-representations-and-confined-bridge-mass-September-26-2026}
We prove that critical honeycomb bridges crossing a strip of width R have mean length R^{4/3+o(1)}, with the same exponent after confinement to a fixed multiple of the strip width. The initial boundary port is fixed, the terminal port is summed, and all finite lengths receive their critical weights. The bridge mass is comparable to R−1/4; the half-plane arch kernel at endpoint separation m is comparable to m−5/4.
Polynomial vacuum representations and bridge mass for honeycomb walks
September 26, 2026 · source · cite as \cite{OAI:Polynomial-vacuum-representations-and-bridge-mass-for-honeycomb-walks-September-26-2026}
We prove that, under the all-length critical measure, a honeycomb bridge crossing a strip of h layers, with its initial port fixed and its terminal port free, has mean length h^{4/3+o(1)}. We also obtain central visit probability R^{-2/3+o(1)} and mean length R^{4/3+o(1)} for macroscopic free-boundary chords in a regular hexagon.
Renewal and changes of law for critical honeycomb walks
September 26, 2026 · source · cite as \cite{OAI:Renewal-and-changes-of-law-for-critical-honeycomb-walks-September-26-2026}
For critical honeycomb self-avoiding walk, we prove spatial exponent 3/4 for the infinite irreducible-bridge law and for bridges of every sufficiently large compatible even length. We establish the corresponding thermal laws at every large discount scale, including all positive length and spatial moments. For unrestricted uniform walks, the endpoint lower law holds on a common set of lengths of natural density one. We also determine the near-critical exponential correlation scale and small-force free-energy exponent, and prove spatial local lower bounds that permit conditioning on a prescribed terminal vertex.
Critical strip-crossing mass on the honeycomb lattice
September 26, 2026 · source · cite as \cite{OAI:Critical-strip-crossing-mass-on-the-honeycomb-lattice-September-26-2026}
At the critical weight of the regular honeycomb lattice, the total weight of self-avoiding paths crossing a strip of height N is comparable to N−1/4. The first horizontal-displacement moment of return paths is comparable to N3/4.
Uniform marked-polygon estimates and sharp finite bridge moments
September 26, 2026 · source · cite as \cite{OAI:Uniform-marked-polygon-estimates-and-sharp-finite-bridge-moments-September-26-2026}
We prove a uniform bound for critical honeycomb polygons through two axial marks on a periodic staircase. The bound retains an explicit power of the ratio between the period and the marked separation. We also prove sharp finite strip estimates: bridge mass of order h−1/4, first-length mass at most Ch^{13/12}, and mass at least ch^{-1/4} on bridges with length at least ch^{4/3}.
Cap-selected amplitudes and triangle chords for honeycomb walks
September 26, 2026 · source · cite as \cite{OAI:Cap-selected-amplitudes-and-triangle-chords-for-honeycomb-walks-September-26-2026}
At the critical honeycomb fugacity, self-avoiding port-to-port chords in an equilateral lattice triangle of side R, summed over both boundary endpoints and restricted to diameter at least R/100, have partition sum comparable to R3/4 and mean length R^{4/3+o(1)}. We also determine the amplitude selected by two vacuum caps on a cylinder of circumference N and prove that it grows as N^{1/6+o(1)}.
