It is discussed how stochastic evolutions may be connected to SU(2) Wess-Zumino-Witten models. Transformations of primary fields are generated by the Virasoro group and an affine extension of the Lie group SU(2). The transformations may be…

Stochastic Loewner evolutions (SLE) are random growth processes of sets, called hulls, embedded in the two dimensional upper half plane. We elaborate and develop a relation between SLE evolutions and conformal field theories (CFT) which is…
