Conformal covariance of the Abelian sandpile height one field

Abstract

We study the scaling limit for the height one field of the two-dimensional Abelian sandpile model. The scaling limit for the covariance having height one at two macroscopically distant sites, more generally the centred height one joint moment of a finite number of macroscopically distant sites, is identified and shown to be conformally covariant. The result is based on a representation of the height one joint intensities that is close to a block-determinantal structure.
