Abstract

We study the Abelian sandpile model on ℤd . In d ≥ 3 we prove existence of the infinite volume addition operator, almost surely with respect to the infinite volume limit μ of the uniform measures on recurrent configurations. We prove the existence of a Markov process with stationary measure μ, and study ergodic properties of this process. The main techniques we use are a connection between the statistics of waves and uniform two-component spanning trees and results on the uniform spanning forest measure on ℤd .
