Abstract
- The uniform spanning tree has had a fruitful history in probability theory. Most notably, it was the study of the scaling limit of the UST that led Oded Schramm [Sch00] to introduce the SLE process, work which has revolutionised the study of two dimensional models in statistical physics. But in addition, the UST relates in an intrinsic fashion with another model, the loop erased random walk (or LEW), and the connections between these two processes allow each to be used as an aid to the study of the other. These notes give an introduction to the UST, mainly in Zd. The later sections concentrate on the UST in Z2, and study the relation between the intrinsic geometry of the UST and Euclidean distance. As an application, we study random walk on the UST, and calculate its asymptotic return probabilities. This survey paper contains many results from the papers [Lyo98, BLPS, BKPS04], not always attributed.
