Abstract

Three characteristics of two-dimensional uniform spanning trees are nontrivially related to one another: the average density of a sandpile, the looping constant of a square lattice, and the return probability of a loop-erased random walk. We briefly trace the long history of the discovery of their unexpected rational values.
