Abstract

We show that when observing the range of a chordal SLEκ_\kappa curve for κ(4,8)\kappa \in (4,8), it is not possible to recover the order in which the points have been visited. We also derive related results about conformal loop ensembles (CLE): (i) The loops in a CLEκ_\kappa for κ(4,8)\kappa \in (4,8) are not determined by the CLEκ_\kappa gasket. (ii) The continuum percolation interfaces defined in the fractal carpets of conformal loop ensembles CLEκ_{\kappa} for κ(8/3,4)\kappa \in (8/3, 4) (we defined these percolation interfaces in previous work, and showed there that they are SLE16/κ_{16/\kappa} curves) are not determined by the CLEκ_{\kappa} carpet that they are defined in.
