We study a one parameter family of discrete Loewner evolutions driven by a random walk on the real line. We show that it converges to the stochastic Loewner evolution (SLE) under rescaling. We show that the discrete Loewner evolution…

Levy-Loewner evolution (LLE) is a generalization of the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) where the branching is possible in a course of growth process. We consider a class of radial Levy-Loewner evolutions for which sets of points of the…

We present a mathematical proof of theoretical predictions made by Arguin and Saint-Aubin, as well as by Bauer, Bernard, and Kytola, about certain non-local observables for the two-dimensional Ising model at criticality by combining…

The present paper is concerned with properties of multiple Schramm--Loewner evolutions (SLEs) labelled by a parameter $\kappa\in (0,8]$. Specifically, we consider the solution of the multiple Loewner equation driven by a time change of…

This is an introductory account of the emergence of conformal invariance in the scaling limit of planar critical percolation. We give an exposition of Smirnov's theorem (2001) on the conformal invariance of crossing probabilities in site…

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…

Schramm Loewner Evolutions (SLE) are random increasing hulls defined through the Loewner equation driven by Brownian motion. It is known that the increasing hulls are generated by continuous curves. When the driving process is of the form…

We review some recently completed research that establishes the scaling limit of Fomin's identity for loop-erased random walk on Z^2 in terms of the chordal Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) with parameter 2. In the case of two paths, we…

We prove that for $\kappa\in(0,8)$, if $(\eta_1,\eta_2)$ is a $2$-SLE$_\kappa$ pair in a simply connected domain $D$ with an analytic boundary point $z_0$, then $\lim_{r\to 0^+}r^{-\alpha} \mathbb{P}[\mbox{dist}(z_0,\eta_j)<r,j=1,2]$…

We study the first passage time processes of anomalous diffusion on self similar curves in two dimensions. The scaling properties of the mean square displacement and mean first passage time of the ballistic motion, fractional Brownian…

We consider bipolar oriented random planar maps with heavy-tailed face degrees. We show for each $\alpha \in (1,2)$ that if the face degree is in the domain of attraction of an $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process, the corresponding random planar…

We study the topology of $SLE$ curves for $\kappa > 4$. More precisely, we show that, a.s., there is no homeomorphism $\Phi: \overline{\mathbb{H}} \rightarrow \overline{\mathbb{H}}$, taking the range of one independent $SLE$ curve to…

We consider a model of planar random aggregation from the ALE$(0,\eta)$ family where particles are attached preferentially in areas of low harmonic measure. We find that the model undergoes a phase transition in negative $\eta$, where for…

We study the probabilities with which chordal Schramm-Loewner Evolutions (SLE) visit small neighborhoods of boundary points. We find formulas for general chordal SLE boundary visiting probability amplitudes, also known as SLE boundary…

The smart kinetic self-avoiding walk (SKSAW) is a random walk which never intersects itself and grows forever when run in the full-plane. At each time step the walk chooses the next step uniformly from among the allowable nearest neighbors…

By analogy with Carleson's observation on Cardy's formula describing crossing probabilities for the scaling limit of critical percolation, we exhibit ``privileged geometries'' for Stochastic Loewner Evolutions with various parameters, for…

In discrete convex analysis, the scaling and proximity properties for the class of L$^\natural$-convex functions were established more than a decade ago and have been used to design efficient minimization algorithms. For the larger class of…

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 the relationship between certain SLE$_\kappa(\rho)$ processes, which are variants of the Schramm-Loewner evolution with parameter $\kappa$ in which one keeps track of an extra marked point, and Liouville quantum gravity (LQG).…

In a previous work, we showed that the 2D, extended-source internal DLA (IDLA) of Levine and Peres is $\delta^{3/5}$-close to its scaling limit, if $\delta$ is the lattice size. In this paper, we investigate the scaling limits of the…
