Multiple Schramm-Loewner Evolutions and Statistical Mechanics Martingales
نویسندگان
چکیده
A statistical mechanics argument relating partition functions to martingales is used to get a condition under which random geometric processes can describe interfaces in 2d statistical mechanics at criticality. Requiring multiple SLEs to satisfy this condition leads to some natural processes, which we study in this note. We give examples of such multiple SLEs and discuss how a choice of conformal block is related to geometric configuration of the interfaces and what is the physical meaning of mixed conformal blocks. We illustrate the general ideas on concrete computations, with applications to percolation and the Ising model.

The generalization SLE(κ; ρ) of chordal Schramm-Loewner evolutions is discussed from the point of view of statistical mechanics and conformal field theory. It is shown that certain ratios of CFT correlation functions become martingales for SLE(κ; ρ). Results of this kind have been found previously for other SLEs. The interpretation is that SLE(κ; ρ) describes interfaces in statistical mechanics...
متن کاملOn Multiple Schramm-Loewner Evolutions
In this note we consider the ansatz for Multiple Schramm-Loewner Evolutions (SLEs) proposed by Bauer, Bernard and Kytölä from a more probabilistic point of view. Here we show their ansatz is a consequence of conformal invariance, reparameterisation invariance and a notion of absolute continuity. In so doing we demonstrate that it is only consistent to grow multiple SLEs if their κ parameters ar...
متن کاملSLE martingales and the Virasoro algebra
We present an explicit relation between representations of the Virasoro algebra and polynomial martingales in stochastic Loewner evolutions (SLE). We show that the Virasoro algebra is the spectrum generating algebra of SLE martingales. This is based on a new representation of the Virasoro algebra, inspired by the Borel-Weil construction, acting on functions depending on coordinates parametrizin...
متن کاملStochastic geometry of critical curves, Schramm-Loewner evolutions, and conformal field theory
Conformally-invariant curves that appear at critical points in twodimensional statistical mechanics systems, and their fractal geometry have received a lot of attention in recent years. On the one hand, Schramm [1] has invented a new rigorous as well as practical calculational approach to critical curves, based on a beautiful unification of conformal maps and stochastic processes, and by now kn...

We present a relation between conformal field theories (CFT) and radial stochastic Schramm-Loewner evolutions (SLE) similar to that we previously developed for the chordal SLEs. We construct an important local martingale using degenerate representations of the Virasoro algebra. We sketch how to compute derivative exponants and the restriction martingales in this framework. In its CFT formulatio...
