Let $G$ be an infinite, vertex-transitive lattice with degree $lambda$ and fix a vertex on it. Consider all cycles of length exactly $l$ from this vertex to itself on $G$. Erasing loops chronologically from these cycles, what is the fraction $F_p/lambda^{ell(p)}$ of cycles of length $l$ whose last erased loop is some chosen self-avoiding polygon $p$ of length $ell(p)$, when $ltoinfty$ ? We use combinatorial sieves to prove an exact formula for $F_p/lambda^{ell(p)}$ that we evaluate explicitly. We further prove that for all self-avoiding polygons $p$, $F_pinmathbb{Q}[chi]$ with $chi$ an irrational number depending on the lattice, e.g. $chi=1/pi$ on the infinite square lattice. In stark contrast we current methods, we proceed via purely deterministic arguments relying on Viennots theory of heaps of pieces seen as a semi-commutative extension of number theory. Our approach also sheds light on the origin of the difference between exponents stemming from loop-erased walk and self-avoiding polygon models, and suggests a natural route to bridge the gap between both.
The connective constant $mu(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the asymptotic growth rate of the number $sigma_{n}$ of self-avoiding walks of length $n$ in $G$ from a given vertex. We prove a formula for the connective constant for free products of quasi-transiti
We study the connective constants of weighted self-avoiding walks (SAWs) on infinite graphs and groups. The main focus is upon weighted SAWs on finitely generated, virtually indicable groups. Such groups possess so-called height functions, and this p
We prove that for the $d$-regular tessellations of the hyperbolic plane by $k$-gons, there are exponentially more self-avoiding walks of length $n$ than there are self-avoiding polygons of length $n$, and we deduce that the self-avoiding walk is ball
The connective constant $mu(G)$ of a quasi-transitive graph $G$ is the asymptotic growth rate of the number of self-avoiding walks (SAWs) on $G$ from a given starting vertex. We survey several aspects of the relationship between the connective consta
Let $G$ be a quasi-transitive, locally finite, connected graph rooted at a vertex $o$, and let $c_n(o)$ be the number of self-avoiding walks of length $n$ on $G$ starting at $o$. We show that if $G$ has only thin ends, then the generating function $F
