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…

We prove two theorems about homotopies of curves on 2-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. We show that, for any epsilon > 0, if two simple closed curves are homotopic through curves of bounded length L, then they are also isotopic through…

We investigate the emergence of finite-amplitude non-zonal flows on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ arising from stationary solutions to the 2D Euler equations. By restricting the Laplace-Beltrami eigenspace to the invariant subspace of the…

We consider multiple radial SLE as the number of curves tends to infinity. We give conditions that imply the tightness of the associated processes given by the Loewner equation. In the case of equal weights, the infinite-slit limit is…

We prove several results on approximation and interpolation of holomorphic Legendrian curves in convex domains in $\mathbb{C}^{2n+1}$, $n \geq 2$, with the standard contact structure. Namely, we show that such a curve, defined on a compact…

We consider the energy saving approximation of a Wiener process under unilateral constraints. We show that, almost surely, on large time intervals the minimal energy necessary for the approximation logarithmically depends on the interval's…

Universal bounds for the potential energy of weighted spherical codes are obtained by linear programming. The universality is in the sense of Cohn-Kumar -- every attaining code is optimal with respect to a large class of potential functions…
