Schramm--Loewner evolution (SLE) has been one of the central topics in the probabilistic study of two-dimensional critical systems. It is a random curve in two dimensions to which a cluster interface in a critical lattice system is…

The equations of Loewner type can be derived in two very different contexts: one of them is complex analysis and the theory of parametric conformal maps and the other one is the theory of integrable systems. In this paper we compare the…

To explore the relation between properties of Loewner chains and properties of their driving functions, we study Loewner chains driven by functions $U$ of finite total variation. Under some appropriate conditions, we show existence of the…

The Loewner equation is known as a one-dimensional reduction of the Benney chain as well as the dispersionless KP hierarchy. We propose a reverse process showing that time splitting in the Loewner or the Loewner-Kufarev equation leads to…

We use the whole-plane Loewner equation to define a family of continuous LERW in finitely connected domains that are started from interior points. These continuous LERW satisfy conformal invariance, preserve some continuous local…

This article focuses on the characterization of global multiple Schramm-Loewner evolutions (SLE). The chordal SLE describes the scaling limit of a single interface in various critical lattice models with Dobrushin boundary conditions, and…

Formal Loewner evolution is connected to conformal field theory. In this letter we introduce an extension of Loewner evolution, which consists of two coupled equations and connect the martingales of these equations to the null vectors of…

We consider a univalent analytic function $f$ on the half-plane satisfying the condition that the supremum norm of its (pre-)Schwarzian derivative vanishes on the boundary. Under certain extra assumptions on $f$, we show that there exists a…

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…

This work introduces a construction of conformal processes that combines the theory of branching processes with chordal Loewner evolution. The main novelty lies in the choice of driving measure for the Loewner evolution: given a finite…

The Loewner equation encrypts a growing simple curve in the plane into a real-valued driving function. We show that if the driving function $\lambda$ is in $C^{\beta}$ with $\beta>2$ (or real analytic) then the Loewner curve is in $C^{\beta…
