On the crossing estimates for simple conformal loop ensembles

Abstract

We prove the super-exponential decay of probabilities that there exist $n$ crossings of a given quadrilateral in a simple ${\text{CLE}}_{\kappa }(\Omega )$, $\frac{8}{3}<\kappa \le 4$, as $n$ goes to infinity. Besides being of independent interest, this also provides the missing ingredient in arXiv:1809.00690 for proving the convergence of probabilities of cylindrical events for the double-dimer loop ensembles to those for the nested ${\text{CLE}}_4(\Omega )$.
