The Loewner energy of a Jordan curve is the Dirichlet energy of its Loewner driving term. It is finite if and only if the curve is a Weil-Petersson quasicircle. In this paper, we describe cutting and welding operations on finite Dirichlet…
To any Jordan curve one may associate a circle homeomorphism $\varphi : \mathbb S^1 \to \mathbb S^1$ via conformal welding. Through this correspondence, the Loewner energy $I^L$, also known as the universal Liouville action, is a K\"ahler…
The goal of this expository article is to explain how a fundamental functional on the space of Jordan curves arising from SLE - Loewner energy - is connected to a seemingly far apart subject: the K\"ahler geometry of universal Teichm\"uller…
The universal Liouville action (also known as the Loewner energy for Jordan curves) is a K\"ahler potential on the Weil-Petersson universal Teichm\"uller space, which is identified with the family of Weil-Petersson quasicircles via…
We derive the variational formula of the Loewner driving function of a simple chord under infinitesimal quasiconformal deformations with Beltrami coefficients supported away from the chord. As an application, we obtain the first variation…
Loewner driving functions encode simple curves in 2-dimensional simply connected domains by real-valued functions. We prove that the Loewner driving function of a $C^{1,\beta}$ curve (differentiable parametrization with $\beta$-H\"older…
We study a generalization of the Schramm-Loewner evolution loop measure to pairs of non-intersecting Jordan curves on the Riemann sphere. We also introduce four equivalent definitions for a two-loop Loewner potential: respectively…
The composition $\gamma \circ \eta$ of Jordan curves $\gamma$ and $\eta$ in universal Teichm\"uller space is defined through the composition $h_\gamma \circ h_\eta$ of their conformal weldings. We show that whenever $\gamma$ and $\eta$ have…
We study foliations by chord-arc Jordan curves of the twice punctured Riemann sphere $\mathbb C \smallsetminus \{0\}$ using the Loewner-Kufarev equation. We associate to such a foliation a function on the plane that describes the "local…
We obtain a new formula for the Loewner energy of Jordan curves on the sphere, which is a K\"ahler potential for the essentially unique K\"ahler metric on the Weil-Petersson universal Teichm\"uller space, as the renormalised energy of…
We study some features of the energy of a deterministic chordal Loewner chain, which is defined as the Dirichlet energy of its driving function. In particular, using an interpretation of this energy as a large deviation rate function for…
In this note, we establish an expression of the Loewner energy of a Jordan curve on the Riemann sphere in terms of Werner's measure on simple loops of SLE$_{8/3}$ type. The proof is based on a formula for the change of the Loewner energy…
In addition to conformal weldings $\varphi$, simple curves $\gamma$ growing in the upper half plane generate driving functions $\xi$ and hitting times $\tau$ through Loewner's differential equation. While the Loewner transform $\gamma…
The Teichm\"uller harmonic map flow is a gradient flow for the harmonic map energy of maps from a closed surface to a general closed Riemannian target manifold of any dimension, where both the map and the domain metric are allowed to…
We consider Riemann mappings from bounded Lipschitz domains in the plane to a triangle. We show that in this case the Riemann mapping has a linear variational principle: it is the minimizer of the Dirichlet energy over an appropriate affine…
To explore the relation between properties of Loewner chains and properties of their driving functions, we study Loewner chains driven by functions $U$ of finite total variation. Under some appropriate conditions, we show existence of the…
We introduce and study the $\rho$-Loewner energy, a variant of the Loewner energy with a force point on the boundary of the domain. We prove a large deviation principle for SLE$_\kappa(\rho)$, as $\kappa \to 0+$ and $\rho>-2$ is fixed, with…
We believe that Euler constant is not just the "renormalized" value of the Riemann zeta function in 1. In a sense that we shall clarify it is in fact the normal and natural value of zeta of 1. In this paper we first propose a limit…
We introduce a generalized index for certain meromorphic, unbounded, operator-valued functions. The class of functions is chosen such that energy parameter dependent Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps associated to uniformly elliptic partial…
We study the map from conductances to edge energies for harmonic functions on finite graphs with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove that for any compatible acyclic orientation and choice of energies there is a unique choice of…
