In this article we develop a concise description of the global geometry which is underlying the universal construction of all possible generalised Stochastic L{\oe}wner Evolutions. The main ingredient is the Universal Grassmannian of…
Stochastic Loewner evolutions (SLE) are random growth processes of sets, called hulls, embedded in the two dimensional upper half plane. We elaborate and develop a relation between SLE evolutions and conformal field theories (CFT) which is…
It is discussed how stochastic evolutions may be linked to logarithmic conformal field theory. This introduces an extension of the stochastic Loewner evolutions. Based on the existence of a logarithmic null vector in an indecomposable…
In this note, we show how to relate the Schramm-Loewner Evolution processes (SLE) to highest-weight representations of the Virasoro Algebra. The conformal restriction properties of SLE that have been recently studied in the paper…
We consider a coupling of the Gaussian free field with slit holomorphic stochastic flows, called ($\delta,\sigma$)-SLE, which contains known SLE processes (chordal, radial, and dipolar) as particular cases. In physical terms, we study a…
One of the important aspects in recent trends in complex analysis has been the increasing degree of cross-fertilization between the latter and mathematical physics with great benefits to both subjects. Contour dynamics in the complex plane…
In this notes we shall describe the relation of a certain class of simple random curves arising in 2D statistical mechanics models in the scaling limit, which can be described dynamically by Stochastic L{\oe}wner Evolutions (SLE), and the…
Schramm-Loewner Evolutions ($\SLE$) are random curves in planar simply connected domains; the massless (Euclidean) free field in such a domain is a random distribution. Both have conformal invariance properties in law. In the present…
SLE(kappa; rho), a generalization of chordal Schramm-L\"owner evolution (SLE), is discussed from the point of view of statistical mechanics and conformal field theory (CFT). Certain ratios of CFT correlation functions are shown to be…
This article provides an introduction to Schramm(stochastic)-Loewner evolution (SLE) and to its connection with conformal field theory, from the point of view of its application to two-dimensional critical behaviour. The emphasis is on the…
Links between certain stochastic evolutions of conformal maps and conformal field theory have been studied in the realm of SLE and by utilizing singular vectors in highest-weight modules of the Virasoro algebra. It was recently found that…
The recently introduced SLE growth processes are based on conformal maps from an open and simply-connected subset of the upper half-plane to the half-plane itself. We generalize this by considering a hierarchy of stochastic evolutions…
Some stochastic evolutions of conformal maps can be described by SLE and may be linked to conformal field theory via stochastic differential equations and singular vectors in highest-weight modules of the Virasoro algebra. Here we discuss…
In these mostly expository lectures, we give an elementary introduction to conformal field theory in the context of probability theory and complex analysis. We consider statistical fields, and define Ward functionals in terms of their Lie…
We propose a generalization of Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) that has internal degrees of freedom described by an affine Lie superalgebra. We give a general formulation of SLE corresponding to representation theory of an affine Lie…
From conformal field theory on the Riemann sphere, we implement its boundary version in a simply-connected domain using the Schottky double construction. We consider the statistical fields generated by background charge modification of the…
We use general L\"owner theory to define general slit L\"owner chains in the unit disk, which in the stochastic case lead to slit holomorphic stochastic flows. Radial, chordal and dipolar SLE are classical examples of such flows. Our…
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…
It was realized recently that the chordal, radial and dipolar SLEs are special cases of a general slit holomorphic stochastic flow. We characterize those slit holomorphic stochastic flows which generate level lines of the Gaussian free…
