The (chordal) Loewner differential equation encodes certain curves in the half-plane (aka traces) by continuous real-valued driving functions. Not all curves are traces; the latter can be defined via a geometric condition called the local…
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…
The purpose of this paper is to interpret the phase transition in the Loewner theory as an analog of the hyperbolic variant of the Schur theorem about curves of bounded curvature. We define a family of curves that have a certain conformal…
We review two numerical methods related to the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE). The first simulates SLE itself. More generally, it finds the curve in the half-plane that results from the Loewner equation for a given driving function. The…
Consider the Loewner equation associated to the upper-half plane. Normally this equation is driven by a real-valued function. In this paper, we show that when the driving function is complex-valued with small $1/2$-H\"older norm, the…
The Loewner equation provides a correspondence between continuous real-valued functions $\lambda_t$ and certain increasing families of half-plane hulls $K_t$. In this paper we study the deterministic relationship between specific analytic…
We examine space-filling curves, which are surjective continuous maps from $[0,1]$ to some higher-dimensional space, usually the unit square $[0,1]^2$. In particular, we define Peano's curve and Lebesgue's curve, and state some of their…
SLE is a random growth process based on Loewner's equation with driving parameter a one-dimensional Brownian motion running with speed $\kappa$. This process is intimately connected with scaling limits of percolation clusters and with the…
The Loewner equation describes the time development of an analytic map into the upper half of the complex plane in the presence of a "forcing", a defined singularity moving around the real axis. The applications of this equation use the…
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 revisit the Bieberbach conjecture in the framework of SLE processes and, more generally, L\'evy processes. The study of their unbounded whole-plane versions leads to a discrete series of exact results for the expectations of coefficients…
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 $C^{\beta…
We prove existence (and simpleness) of the trace for both forward and backward Loewner chains under fairly general conditions on semimartingale drivers. As an application, we show that stochastic Komatu-Loewner evolutions SKLE$_{\alpha,b}$…
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.…
It is well know that $SLE_\kappa$ curves exhibit a phase transition at $\kappa=4$. For $\kappa\le 4$ they are simple curves with probability one, for $\kappa>4$ they are not. The standard proof is based on the analysis of the Bessel SDE of…
The Stochastic Loewner equation, introduced by Schramm, gives us a powerful way to study and classify critical random curves and interfaces in two-dimensional statistical mechanics. New kind of stochastic Loewner equation, called fractional…
Stochastic Loewner Evolutions (SLE) with a multiple sqrt(kappa)B of Brownian motion B as driving process are random planar curves (if kappa<=4) or growing compact sets generated by a curve (if kappa>4). We consider here more general Levy…
Existence of Loewner trace is revisited. We identify finite energy paths (the "skeleton of Wiener measure") as natural class of regular drivers for which we find simple and natural estimates in terms of their (Cameron--Martin) norm.…
We show that, under mild assumptions on the limiting curve, a sequence of simple chordal planar curves converges uniformly whenever certain Loewner driving functions converge. We extend this result to random curves. The random version…
For all $\kappa > 0$, we show that the support of SLE$_\kappa$ curves is the closure in the sup-norm of the set of Loewner curves driven by nice (e.g. smooth) functions. It follows that the support is the closure of the set of simple curves…
