A class of Laplacian growth models in the channel geometry is studied using the formalism of tripolar Loewner evolutions, in which three points, namely, the channel corners and infinity, are kept fixed. Initially, the problem of fingered…
A simple model of Laplacian growth is considered, in which the growth takes place only at the tips of long, thin fingers. In a recent paper, Carleson and Makarov used the deterministic Loewner equation to describe the evolution of such a…
The problem of Laplacian growth is considered within the Loewner-equation framework. A new method of deriving the Loewner equation for a large class of growth problems in the half-plane is presented. The method is based on the…
In part 1 (Chapter 2) we present the basic notions of Loewner theory. Here we use a modern form which was developed by F. Bracci, M. Contreras, S. D\'iaz-Madrigal et al. and which can be applied to certain higher dimensional complex…
The problem of Laplacian growth in two dimensions is considered within the Loewner-equation framework. Initially the problem of fingered growth recently discussed by Gubiec and Szymczak [T. Gubiec and P. Szymczak, Phys. Rev. E 77, 041602…
Pattern-forming processes, such as electrodeposition, dielectric breakdown or viscous fingering are often driven by instabilities. Accordingly, the resulting growth patterns are usually highly branched, fractal structures. However, in some…
We study the chordal Loewner equation associated with certain driving functions that produce infinitely many slits. Specifically, for a choice of a sequence of positive numbers $(b_n)_{n\ge1}$ and points of the real line $(k_n)_{n\ge1}$, we…
We consider the Loewner differential equation generating univalent maps of the unit disk (or of the upper half-plane) onto itself minus a single slit. We prove that the circular slits, tangent to the real axis are generated by H\"older…
We consider the chordal Loewner differential equation for multiple slits in the upper half-plane and relations between the pointwise H\"older continuity of the driving functions and the generated hulls. The first result generalizes a result…
We obtain a first order differential equation for the driving function of the chordal Loewner differential equation in the case where the domain is slit by a curve which is a trajectory arc of certain quadratic differentials. In particular…
We construct radial stochastic Loewner evolution in multiply connected domains, choosing the unit disk with concentric circular slits as a family of standard domains. The natural driving function or input is a diffusion on the associated…
We study deterministic Loewner evolutions on the complex plane driven by complex-valued functions. This model can be viewed as a generalization of real-driven Loewner evolutions in the upper half-plane, or as the deterministic analogue of…
These lecture notes on 2D growth processes are divided in two parts. The first part is a non-technical introduction to stochastic Loewner evolutions (SLEs). Their relationship with 2D critical interfaces is illustrated using numerical…
Analysis of non-compact manifolds almost always requires some controlled behavior at infinity. Without such, one neither can show, nor expect, strong properties. On the other hand, such assumptions restrict the possible applications and…
Growth fronts of slime molds are characterized through a direct geometric analysis based on Loewner evolutions, using experimentally acquired time-resolved images. The associated Loewner driving functions reconstructed from expanding…
A "fat slit" is a compact domain in the upper half plane bounded by a curve with endpoints on the real axis and a segment of the real axis between them. We consider conformal maps of the upper half plane to the exterior of a fat slit…
We describe Stochastic Loewner Evolution on arbitrary Riemann surfaces with boundary using Conformal Field Theory methods. We propose in particular a CFT construction for a probability measure on (clouded) paths, and check it against known…
The purpose of this paper is to study some properties of solutions to one dimensional as well as multidimensional stochastic differential equations (SDEs in short) with super-linear growth conditions on the coefficients. Taking inspiration…
We analyse the aggregate Loewner evolution (ALE), introduced in 2018 by Sola, Turner and Viklund to generalise versions of diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) in the plane using complex analysis. They showed convergence of the ALE for…
From the smallest biological systems to the largest cosmological structures, spatial domains undergo expansion and contraction. Within these growing domains, diffusive transport is a common phenomenon. Mathematical models have been widely…
