We define multiple chordal SLEs in a simply connected domain by considering a natural configurational measure on paths. We show how to construct these measures so that they are conformally covariant and satisfy certain boundary perturbation…
We study the Laplacian-infinity path as an extreme case of the Laplacian-alpha random walk. Although, in the finite alpha case, there is reason to believe that the process converges to SLE, we show that this is not the case when alpha is…
Sampling-based motion planners have proven to be efficient solutions to a variety of high-dimensional, geometrically complex motion planning problems with applications in several domains. The traditional view of these approaches is that…
We point out that the probability law of a single domain wall separating clusters in ADE lattice models in a simply connected domain is identical to that of corresponding chordal curves in the lattice O(n) and Q-state Potts models, for…
We introduce a curvature function for planar graphs to study the connection between the curvature and the geometric and spectral properties of the graph. We show that non-positive curvature implies that the graph is infinite and locally…
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a non-degenerate planar curve. We show that the curve is of Khintchine-type for convergence in the case of simultaneous approximation with two independent approximation functions; that is if a certain sum converges then…

A sequence of graphs is FO-convergent if the probability of satisfaction of every first-order formula converges. A graph modeling is a graph, whose domain is a standard probability space, with the property that every definable set is Borel.…
In this paper we use a gradient flow to deform closed planar curves to curves with least variation of geodesic curvature in the $L^2$ sense. Given a smooth initial curve we show that the solution to the flow exists for all time and,…
Following the strategy proposed by Makarov and Smirnov in arXiv:0909.5377, we provide technical details for the proof of convergence of massive loop-erased random walks to the chordal mSLE(2) process. As no follow-up of arXiv:0909.5377…
Let $\kappa\in(4,8)$. Let $\gamma$ be an SLE$_\kappa$ curve in a Jordan domain $D$ connecting $a_1\ne a_2\in\partial D$. We attach $\gamma$ with two open boundary arcs $A_1,A_2$ of $D$, which share end points $b_1\ne b_2\in\partial…
Is a sequence of Riemannian manifolds with positive scalar curvature, satisfying some conditions to keep the sequence reasonable, compact? What topology should one use for the convergence and what is the regularity of the limit space? In…
We give a new take on the error analysis of approximations of stochastic differential equations (SDEs), utilizing and developing the stochastic sewing lemma of L\^e (2020). This approach allows one to exploit regularization by noise effects…
We consider curve shortening flow of arbitrary codimension in an Euclidean background. We show that, close to a singularity, the flow is asymptotically planar, paralleling Altschuler's work in the case of space curves, and analyse the…
We have studied the iso-height lines on the $\mathrm{WO_3}$ surface as a physical candidate for conformally invariant curves. We have shown that these lines are conformally invariant with the same statistics of domain walls in the critical…
We consider multiple radial SLE as the number of curves tends to infinity. We give conditions that imply the tightness of the associated processes given by the Loewner equation. In the case of equal weights, the infinite-slit limit is…
