Nienhuis's 3/4 exponent for self-avoiding walk on the honeycomb lattice, in diameter form
Theorem 1.1: for every δ>0 and k>0 there are Cδ,k and n0 such that for every integer n≥n0, with Pn-probability at least 1−Cδ,kn−k, the diameter satisfies n3/4−δ≤D(γ)≤n3/4+δ, and simultaneously for all visited z and s∈[1,n] the ball mass is within n±δ of min{n,s4/3} and the covering number by s-balls within n±δ of 1+ns−4/3. Corollaries: span at least n3/4−δ in each lattice normal, covering dimension 4/3, radius of gyration n3/4+o(1) and En[Dp]=n3p/4+o(1). Not shown: a fixed-length lower bound for the end-to-end distance (a companion has it only on a density-one set of lengths), an exponent without no(1) slack, other lattices, or convergence to SLE8/3.
