We establish an upper bound on the asymptotic probability of an SLE(kappa) curve hitting two small intervals on the real line as the interval width goes to zero, for the range 4 < kappa < 8. As a consequence we are able to prove that the…
This paper examines how close the chordal $\SLE_\kappa$ curve gets to the real line asymptotically far away from its starting point. In particular, when $\kappa\in(0,4)$, it is shown that if $\beta>\beta_\kappa:=1/(8/\kappa-2)$, then the…
We compute the almost-sure Hausdorff dimension of the double points of chordal SLE_kappa for kappa > 4, confirming a prediction of Duplantier-Saleur (1989) for the contours of the FK model. We also compute the dimension of the cut points of…
We give estimates for the probability that a chordal, radial or two-sided radial SLE$_\kappa$ curve retreats far from its terminal point after coming close to it, for $\kappa \leq 4$. The estimates are uniform over all initial segments of…
We consider chordal SLE(kappa) curves for kappa > 4, where the intersection of the curve with the boundary is a random fractal of almost sure Hausdorff dimension min {2-8/kappa,1}. We study the random sets of points at which the curve…
We prove upper bounds for the probability that a radial SLE$_{\kappa}$ curve, $\kappa\in(0,8)$, comes within specified radii of $n$ different points in the unit disc. Using this estimate, we then prove a similar upper bound for a…
We improve the geometric properties of SLE$(\kappa;\vec{\rho})$ processes derived in an earlier paper, which are then used to obtain more results about the duality of SLE. We find that for $\kappa\in (4,8)$, the boundary of a standard…
SLE$_{\kappa}(\rho)$ is a variant of SLE$_{\kappa}$ where $\rho$ characterizes the repulsion (if $\rho>0$) or attraction $(\rho<0)$ from the boundary. This paper examines the probabilities of SLE$_{\kappa}(\rho)$ to get close to the…
We conjecture a relationship between the scaling limit of the fixed-length ensemble of self-avoiding walks in the upper half plane and radial SLE with kappa=8/3 in this half plane from 0 to i. The relationship is that if we take a curve…
Simmons and Cardy recently predicted a formula for the probability that the chordal SLE(8/3) path passes to the left of two points in the upper half-plane. In this paper we give a rigorous proof of their formula. Starting from this result,…
We derive some geometric properties of chordal SLE$(\kappa;\vec{\rho})$ processes. Using these results and the method of coupling two SLE processes, we prove that the outer boundary of the final hull of a chordal SLE$(\kappa;\vec{\rho})$…
When studying stochastic processes, it is often fruitful to have an understanding of several different notions of regularity. One such notion is the optimal H\"older exponent obtainable under reparametrization. In this paper, we show that…
We use SLE(6) paths to construct a process of continuum nonsimple loops in the plane and prove that this process coincides with the full continuum scaling limit of 2D critical site percolation on the triangular lattice -- that is, the…
The goal of the present paper is to explain, based on properties of the conformal loop ensembles CLE$_\kappa$ (both with simple and non-simple loops, i.e., for the whole range $\kappa \in (8/3, 8)$) how to derive the connection…
We study site percolation on lattices confined to a semi-infinite strip. For triangular and square lattices we find that the probability that a cluster touches the three sides of such a system at the percolation threshold has the continuous…
The Heisenberg spin ladder is studied in the semiclassical limit, via a mapping to the nonlinear $\sigma$ model. Different treatments are needed if the inter-chain coupling $K$ is small, intermediate or large. For intermediate coupling a…
A crossing probability for the critical four-state Potts model on an $L\times M$ rectangle on a square lattice is numerically studied. The crossing probability here denotes the probability that spin clusters cross from one side of the…
We consider the size of the smallest set of vertices required to intersect every longest path in a chordal graph. Such sets are known as longest path transversals. We show that if $\omega(G)$ is the clique number of a chordal graph $G$,…
We construct a natural measure mu supported on the intersection of a chordal SLE(kappa) curve gamma with the real line R, in the range 4 < kappa < 8. The measure is a function of the SLE path in question. Assuming that boundary measures…
We study SLE$_\kappa(\rho)$ curves, with $\kappa$ and $\rho$ chosen so that the curves hit the boundary. More precisely, we study the sets on which the curves collide with the boundary at a prescribed "angle" and determine the almost sure…
