Abstract

We study the probability that chordal SLE8/3\text{SLE}_{8/3} in the unit disk from exp(ix)\exp(ix) to 1 avoids the disk of radius qq centered at zero. We find the initial/boundary-value problem satisfied by this probability as a function of xx and a=lnqa=\ln q, and show that asymptotically as qq tends to one this probability decays like exp(cx/(1q))\exp(-cx/(1-q)) with c=5π/8c=5\pi/8 for x[0,π]x\in[0,\pi]. We also give a representation of this probability as a functional of a Legendre process.
