Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) is a promising approach to quantum gravity, in particular because it is based on a rigorous quantization of the kinematics of gravity. A difficult and still open problem in the LQG program is the construction of…

We introduce a two-parameter family of probability measures on spanning trees of a planar map. One of the parameters controls the activity of the spanning tree and the other is a measure of its bending energy. When the bending parameter is…
We develop a theory for the multiple radial $\mathrm{SLE}(\kappa)$ systems with parameter $\kappa > 0$ -- a family of random multi-curve systems in a simply connected domain $\Omega$, with marked boundary points $z_1, \ldots, z_n \in…
In statistical mechanics, observables are usually related to local degrees of freedom such as the Q < 4 distinct states of the Q-state Potts models or the heights of the restricted solid-on-solid models. In the continuum scaling limit,…
