Abstract:
We consider a planar Brownian loop that is run for a time and conditioned on the event that its range encloses the unusually high area of , with being large. The conditioned process, denoted by , was proposed by Senya Shlosman as a model for the fluctuation of a phase boundary. We study the deviation of the range of from a circle of radius . This deviation is measured by the inradius and outradius , which are the maximal radius of a disk enclosed by the range of , and the minimal radius of a disk that contains this range. We prove that, in a typical realization of the conditioned measure, each of these quantities differs from by at most .
