Bounds for Disconnection Exponents

Wendelin Werner (Université Paris-Sud and IUF)

Abstract


We slightly improve the upper bounds of disconnection exponents for planar Brownian motion that we derived in an earlier paper. We also give a proof of the lower bound $1/(2\pi)$ for the disconnection exponent for one path.
