We review some recently completed research that establishes the scaling limit of Fomin's identity for loop-erased random walk on Z^2 in terms of the chordal Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) with parameter 2. In the case of two paths, we…
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…

This article employs Schramm-Loewner Evolution to obtain intersection exponents for several chordal $SLE_{8/3}$ curves in a wedge. As $SLE_{8/3}$ is believed to describe the continuum limit of self-avoiding walks, these exponents correspond…
Many stochastic complex systems are characterized by the fact that their configuration space doesn't grow exponentially as a function of the degrees of freedom. The use of scaling expansions is a natural way to measure the asymptotic growth…
The paper describes a generalized iterative proportional fitting procedure which can be used for maximum likelihood estimation in a special class of the general log-linear model. The models in this class, called relational, apply to…
Logistic regression remains one of the most widely used tools in applied statistics, machine learning and data science. However, in moderately high-dimensional problems, where the number of features $d$ is a non-negligible fraction of the…
Building on the identification of the scaling limit of the critical percolation exploration process as a Schramm-Loewner Evolution, we derive a PDE characterization for the crossing probability of an annulus.
Many stochastic physical systems evolve smoothly over time in the sense that the distribution of states changes regularly across time steps. The transition from current state to the next state can often be modeled as the combination of a…
The smart kinetic self-avoiding walk (SKSAW) is a random walk which never intersects itself and grows forever when run in the full-plane. At each time step the walk chooses the next step uniformly from among the allowable nearest neighbors…
We consider uniform spanning tree (UST) in topological polygons with $2N$ marked points on the boundary with alternating boundary conditions. In [LPW21], the authors derive the scaling limit of the Peano curve in the UST. They are variants…
The paper reviews the results obtained for spatial population models and the evolution of the genealogies of these populations during the last decade by the author and his coworkers. The focus is on their large scale behaviour and on the…
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…
