A statistical theory of two-dimensional Laplacian growths is formulated from first-principles. First the area enclosed by the growing surface is mapped conformally to the interior of the unit circle, generating a set of dynamically evolving…

We regularize the Laplacian growth problem with zero surface tension by introducing a short-distance cutoff $\hbar$, so that the change of the area of domains is quantized and equals an integer multiple of the area quanta $\hbar$. The…
