Simulations of the self-avoiding walk (SAW) are performed in a half-plane and a cut-plane (the complex plane with the positive real axis removed) using the pivot algorithm. We test the conjecture of Lawler, Schramm and Werner that the…
Stochastic Loewner evolution (SLE) is a differential equation driven by a one-dimensional Brownian motion (BM), whose solution gives a stochastic process of conformal transformation on the upper half complex-plane $\H$. As an evolutionary…
In this first of four articles, we study a homogeneous system of $2N+3$ linear partial differential equations (PDEs) in $2N$ variables that arises in conformal field theory (CFT) and multiple Schramm-Lowner evolution (SLE). In CFT, these…

Conformal surface parameterization is useful in graphics, imaging and visualization, with applications to texture mapping, atlas construction, registration, remeshing and so on. With the increasing capability in scanning and storing data,…
We present a non-conforming least squares method for approximating solutions of second order elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients. The method is based on a general Saddle Point Least Squares (SPLS) method introduced in previous…
We study the line bundle mean curvature flow on K\"ahler surfaces under the hypercritical phase and a certain semipositivity condition. We naturally encounter such a condition when considering the blowup of K\"ahler surfaces. We show that…
Linear shear flow bounded by a plane wall is an idealization that occurs in microfluidic devices and many other applications. Perfect plane approximation neglects surface irregularities and discrete particles adsorbed at the surface. Here…
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…
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…
We use the conformal bootstrap to perform a precision study of 3d maximally supersymmetric ($\mathcal{N}=8$) SCFTs that describe the IR physics on $N$ coincident M2-branes placed either in flat space or at a $\C^4/\Z_2$ singularity. First,…
We obtain the ratio of semiclassical partition functions for the extension under mixed flux of the minimal surfaces subtending a circumference and a line in Euclidean $AdS_{3}\times S^{3}\times T^{4}$. We reduce the problem to the…
The skew mean curvature flow is an evolution equation for $d$ dimensional ma\-nifolds embedded in $\mathbb{R}^{d+2}$ (or more generally, in a Riemannian manifold). It can be viewed as a Schr\"odinger analogue of the mean curvature flow, or…
The convergence of iterative schemes to achieve self-consistency in mean field problems such as the Schr\"odinger-Poisson equation is notoriously capricious. It is particularly difficult in regimes where the non-linearities are strong such…
The Canham-Helfrich-Evans models of biomembranes consist of a family of geometric constrained variational problems. In this article, we compare two classes of numerical methods for these variational problems based on piecewise linear (PL)…
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…
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.…
We consider the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE$_\kappa$) for $\kappa \in (4,8)$, which is the regime where the curve is self-intersecting but not space-filling. We show that there exists $\delta_0>0$ such that for $\kappa \in (8 -…
Quantum Surface codes are a kind of quantum topological stabilizer codes whose stabilizers and qubits are geometrically related. Due to their special structures, surface codes have great potential to lead people to large-scale quantum…
