Many mathematical models of statistical physics in two dimensions are either known or conjectured to exhibit conformal invariance. Over the years, physicists proposed predictions of various exponents describing the behavior of these models.…
We study deterministic Loewner evolutions on the complex plane driven by complex-valued functions. This model can be viewed as a generalization of real-driven Loewner evolutions in the upper half-plane, or as the deterministic analogue of…
Schramm-Loewner Evolution (SLE) is a stochastic process that helps classify critical statistical models using one real parameter $\kappa$. Numerical study of SLE often involves curves that start and end on the real axis. To reduce numerical…
The Shcramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) is a correlated exploration process, in which for the chordal set up, the tip of the trace evolves in a self-avoiding manner towards the infinity. The resulting curves are named SLE$_{\kappa}$,…
Schramm-Loewner Evolutions ($\SLE$) are random curves in planar simply connected domains; the massless (Euclidean) free field in such a domain is a random distribution. Both have conformal invariance properties in law. In the present…
We prove existence (and simpleness) of the trace for both forward and backward Loewner chains under fairly general conditions on semimartingale drivers. As an application, we show that stochastic Komatu-Loewner evolutions SKLE$_{\alpha,b}$…
In this paper, we provide a framework of estimates for describing 2D scaling limits by Schramm's SLE curves. In particular, we show that a weak estimate on the probability of an annulus crossing implies that a random curve arising from a…
Stochastic Loewner evolution (SLE) is a differential equation driven by a one-dimensional Brownian motion (BM), whose solution gives a stochastic process of conformal transformation on the upper half complex-plane $\H$. As an evolutionary…
Standard Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) is driven by a continuous Brownian motion which then produces a trace, a continuous fractal curve connecting the singular points of the motion. If jumps are added to the driving function, the trace…
We consider evolution in the unit disk in which the sample paths are represented by the trajectories of points evolving randomly under the generalized Loewner equation. The driving mechanism differs from the SLE evolution, but nevertheless…
The Brownian loop measure is a conformally invariant measure on loops in the plane that arises when studying the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE). When an SLE curve in a domain evolves from an interior point, it is natural to consider the…
We propose a generalization of Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) that has internal degrees of freedom described by an affine Lie superalgebra. We give a general formulation of SLE corresponding to representation theory of an affine Lie…
Extending the Schramm--Loewner Evolution (SLE) to model branching structures while preserving conformal invariance and other stochastic properties remains a formidable research challenge. Unlike simple paths, branching structures, or trees,…
The Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE_\kappa) is a candidate for the scaling limit of random curves arising in two-dimensional critical phenomena. When \kappa < 8, an instance of SLE_\kappa is a random planar curve with almost sure Hausdorff…
Standard stochastic Loewner evolution (SLE) is driven by a continuous Brownian motion, which then produces a continuous fractal trace. If jumps are added to the driving function, the trace branches. We consider a generalized SLE driven by a…
We derive a rate of convergence of the Loewner driving function for planar loop-erased random walk to Brownian motion with speed 2 on the unit circle, the Loewner driving function for radial SLE(2). The proof uses a new estimate of the…
The Rohde--Schramm theorem states that Schramm--Loewner Evolution with parameter $\kappa$ (or SLE$_\kappa$ for short) exists as a random curve, almost surely, if $\kappa \neq 8$. Here we give a new and concise proof of the result, based on…
These lecture notes on 2D growth processes are divided in two parts. The first part is a non-technical introduction to stochastic Loewner evolutions (SLEs). Their relationship with 2D critical interfaces is illustrated using numerical…
We propose variants of Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) that are related to superconformal algebras following the group theoretical formulation of SLE, in which the relevant stochastic differential equation is derived from a random process…
Similar to the well-known phases of SLE, the Loewner differential equation with Lip(1/2) driving terms is known to have a phase transition at norm 4, when traces change from simple to non-simple curves. We establish the deterministic analog…
