We consider multiple chordal Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) with $\kappa\in (0,4]$. Under common-time parameterization, we show that the transition density of the driving function of multiple chordal SLEs can be given by the transition…

Simulations of the self-avoiding walk (SAW) are performed in a half-plane and a cut-plane (the complex plane with the positive real axis removed) using the pivot algorithm. We test the conjecture of Lawler, Schramm and Werner that the…

We consider a variant of Bessel SDE by allowing the solution to be complex valued. Such SDEs appear naturally while studying the trace of Schramm-Loewner-Evolutions (SLE). We establish the existence and uniqueness of the strong solution to…

Studying SLE$_{\kappa}$ on $S^2$ provides a new and interesting perspective for the conformality of some 2-dimensional physical models. We prove the existence and some basic properties of the spherical Minkowski content of SLE$_{\kappa}$,…

Some stochastic evolutions of conformal maps can be described by SLE and may be linked to conformal field theory via stochastic differential equations and singular vectors in highest-weight modules of the Virasoro algebra. Here we discuss…

This paper concerns a random walk on a planar graph and presents certain estimates concerning the harmonic measures for the walk in a grid domain which estimates are useful for showing the convergence of a LERW (loop-erased random walk) to…

We resolve a conjecture of Sheffield that $\SLE(4)$, a conformally invariant random curve, is the universal limit of the chordal zero-height contours of random surfaces with isotropic, uniformly convex potentials. Specifically, we study the…

We define a family of stochastic Loewner evolution-type processes in finitely connected domains, which are called continuous LERW (loop-erased random walk). A continuous LERW describes a random curve in a finitely connected domain that…

We consider multiple radial SLE curves with various time parameterizations and possible spiraling behavior. We construct them by tilting independent radial SLEs with a suitable local martingale, generalizing the earlier construction by…

In the classical electrodynamics of point charges in vacuum, the electromagnetic field, and therefore the Lorentz force, is ill-defined at the locations of the charges. Kiessling resolved this problem by using the momentum balance between…

The scaling limit of planar loop-erased random walks is described by a stochastic Loewner evolution with parameter kappa=2. In this note SLE(2) in the upper half-plane H minus a simply-connected compact subset K of H is studied. As a main…

We use the interpretation of the Schramm-Loewner evolution as a limit of path measures tilted by a loop term in order to motivate the definition of $n$-radial SLE going to a particular point. In order to justify the definition we prove that…
