Scharmm-Loewner evolution (SLE) and conformal field theory (CFT) are popular and widely used instruments to study critical behavior of two-dimensional models, but they use different objects. While SLE has natural connection with lattice…

We present high statistics data on the distribution of shortest path lengths between two near-by points on the same cluster at the percolation threshold. Our data are based on a new and very efficient algorithm. For $d=2$ they clearly…
The probability that a point is to one side of a curve in Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) can be obtained alternatively using boundary conformal field theory (BCFT). We extend the BCFT approach to treat two curves, forming, for example, the…
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…
We consider the mean distribution functions Phi(r|l), Phi(B)(r|l), and Phi(S)(r|l), giving the probability that two sites on the incipient percolation cluster, on its backbone and on its skeleton, respectively, connected by a shortest path…
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 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…
Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE$_\kappa$) is classically studied via Loewner evolution with half-plane capacity parametrization, driven by $\sqrt{\kappa}$ times Brownian motion. This yields a (half-plane) valued random field $\gamma = \gamma…
For random collections of self-avoiding loops in two-dimensional domains, we define a simple and natural conformal restriction property that is conjecturally satisfied by the scaling limits of interfaces in models from statistical physics.…
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…
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…
We consider collections of $N$ chordal random curves obtained from a critical lattice model on a planar graph, in the limit when a fine-mesh graph approximates a simply-connected domain. We define and study candidates for such limits in…
We discuss shortest-path lengths $\ell(r)$ on periodic rings of size L supplemented with an average of pL randomly located long-range links whose lengths are distributed according to $P_l \sim l^{-\xpn}$. Using rescaling arguments and…
This article employs Schramm-Loewner Evolution to obtain intersection exponents for several chordal $SLE_{8/3}$ curves in a wedge. As $SLE_{8/3}$ is believed to describe the continuum limit of self-avoiding walks, these exponents correspond…
Building on the identification of the scaling limit of the critical percolation exploration process as a Schramm-Loewner Evolution, we derive a PDE characterization for the crossing probability of an annulus.
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…
The scaling limit of planar loop-erased random walks is described by a stochastic Loewner evolution with parameter kappa=2. In this note SLE(2) in the upper half-plane H minus a simply-connected compact subset K of H is studied. As a main…
SLE($\kappa,\rho$) is a variant of the Schramm-Loewner Evolution which describes the curves which are not conformal invariant, but are self-similar due to the presence of some other preferred points on the boundary. In this paper we study…
We discuss the partition function point of view for chordal Schramm-Loewner evolutions and their relationship with correlation functions in conformal field theory. Both are closely related to crossing probabilities and interfaces in…
