In this article, we use the framework of "Random conformal weldings" (by K. Astala, P. Jones, A. Kupiainen, E. Saksman) to prove the existence of Lehto-welding for the inverse for $\gamma<0.1818$ and independent copies for…
For $\gamma \in (0,2)$, the quantum disk and $\gamma$-quantum wedge are two of the most natural types of Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surfaces with boundary. These surfaces arise as scaling limits of finite and infinite random planar…
We consider non-Fuchsian monodromy preserving deformations on a Riemann sphere. The associated isomonodromic deformation parameters on this surface comprise the positions of the singularities, together with the Birkhoff (spectral)…
We consider chordal SLE(kappa) curves for kappa > 4, where the intersection of the curve with the boundary is a random fractal of almost sure Hausdorff dimension min {2-8/kappa,1}. We study the random sets of points at which the curve…
Let $\gamma \in (0,2)$ and let $h$ be the random distribution on $\mathbb C$ which describes a $\gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) cone. Also let $\kappa = 16/\gamma^2 >4$ and let $\eta$ be a whole-plane space-filling SLE$_\kappa$…
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…
We present a way to study the conformal structure of random planar maps. The main idea is to explore the map along an SLE (Schramm--Loewner evolution) process of parameter $ \kappa = 6$ and to combine the locality property of the SLE_{6}…
We consider critical percolation on the triangular lattice in a bounded simply connected domain with boundary conditions that force an interface between two prescribed boundary points. We say the interface forms a "near-loop" when it comes…
This manuscript explores the connections between a class of stochastic processes called "Stochastic Loewner Evolution" (SLE) and conformal field theory (CFT). First some important results are recalled which we utilise in the sequel, in…
We establish the first scaling limit for FK($q$)-weighted planar maps in the critical case $q=4$, resolving a problem that has remained open since Sheffield's seminal work arXiv:1108.2241. In that work, Sheffield proved a scaling limit for…
Suppose that $\eta$ is a whole-plane space-filling SLE$_\kappa$ for $\kappa \in (4,8)$ from $\infty$ to $\infty$ parameterized by Lebesgue measure and normalized so that $\eta(0) = 0$. For each $T > 0$ and $\kappa \in (4,8)$ we let…
Permutons constructed from a Liouville quantum gravity surface and a pair of space-filling Schramm-Loewner evolutions (SLEs) have been shown -- or are conjectured -- to describe the scaling limit of various natural models of random…
The present paper is concerned with properties of multiple Schramm--Loewner evolutions (SLEs) labelled by a parameter $\kappa\in (0,8]$. Specifically, we consider the solution of the multiple Loewner equation driven by a time change of…
We define the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) in multiply connected domains for kappa \leq 4 using the Brownian loop measure. We show that in the case of the annulus, this is the same measure obtained recently by Dapeng Zhan. We use the…
The conformal loop ensemble (CLE) is the canonical conformally invariant probability measure on non-crossing loops in a simply connected domain in $\mathbb C$ and is indexed by a parameter $\kappa \in (8/3,8)$. We consider CLE$_\kappa$ on…
We study the topology of $SLE$ curves for $\kappa > 4$. More precisely, we show that, a.s., there is no homeomorphism $\Phi: \overline{\mathbb{H}} \rightarrow \overline{\mathbb{H}}$, taking the range of one independent $SLE$ curve to…
It is well know that $SLE_\kappa$ curves exhibit a phase transition at $\kappa=4$. For $\kappa\le 4$ they are simple curves with probability one, for $\kappa>4$ they are not. The standard proof is based on the analysis of the Bessel SDE of…
The purpose of this paper is to interpret the phase transition in the Loewner theory as an analog of the hyperbolic variant of the Schur theorem about curves of bounded curvature. We define a family of curves that have a certain conformal…
We study SLE$_\kappa(\rho)$ curves, with $\kappa$ and $\rho$ chosen so that the curves hit the boundary. More precisely, we study the sets on which the curves collide with the boundary at a prescribed "angle" and determine the almost sure…
We resolve a conjecture of Sheffield that $\SLE(4)$, a conformally invariant random curve, is the universal limit of the chordal zero-height contours of random surfaces with isotropic, uniformly convex potentials. Specifically, we study the…
