Abstract
AbstractIn this paper we further develop the ideas from Geometric Function Theory initially introduced in Avelin et al. (Commun Math Phys 404:401–437, 2023), to derive capacity estimate in metastability for arbitrary configurations. The novelty of this paper is twofold. First, the graph theoretical connection enables us to exactly compute the pre-factor in the capacity. Second, we complete the method from Avelin et al. (Commun Math Phys 404:401–437, 2023) by providing an upper bound using Geometric Function Theory together with Thompson’s principle, avoiding explicit constructions of test functions.
