abstract = {We study the cover time $\tau_{\mathrm{cov}}$ by (continuous-time) random walk on the 2D box of side length $n$ with wired boundary or on the 2D torus,and show that in both cases with probability approaching $1$ as $n$ increases,$\sqrt{\tau_{\mathrm{cov}}}=\sqrt{2n^2 [\sqrt{2/\pi} \log n + O(\log\log n)]$. This improves a result of Dembo, Peres, Rosen, and Zeitouni (2004) and makes progresstowards a conjecture of Bramson and Zeitouni (2009).},
