Exploration trees and conformal loop ensembles
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct and study the conformal loop ensembles CLE(κ), defined for 8/3 ≤ κ ≤ 8, using branching variants of SLE(κ) called exploration trees. The CLE(κ) are random collections of countably many loops in a planar domain that are characterized by certain conformal invariance and Markov properties. We conjecture that they are the scaling limits of various random loop models from statistical physics, including the O(n) loop models. ∗Courant Institute, NYU.

Conformal loop ensembles: the Markovian characterization and the loop-soup construction
For random collections of self-avoiding loops in two-dimensional domains, we define a simple and natural conformal restriction property that is conjecturally satisfied by the scaling limits of interfaces in models from statistical physics. This property is basically the combination of conformal invariance and the locality of the interaction in the model. Unlike the Markov property that Schramm ...
متن کاملConformal radii for conformal loop ensembles
The conformal loop ensembles CLEκ, defined for 8/3 ≤ κ ≤ 8, are random collections of loops in a planar domain which are conjectured scaling limits of the O(n) loop models. We calculate the distribution of the conformal radii of the nested loops surrounding a deterministic point. Our results agree with predictions made by Cardy and Ziff and by Kenyon and Wilson for the O(n) model. We also compu...
متن کاملConformal loop ensembles and the stress - energy tensor . I . Fundamental notions of CLE
This is the first part of a work aimed at constructing the stress-energy tensor of conformal field theory as a local “object” in conformal loop ensembles (CLE). This work lies in the wider context of re-constructing quantum field theory from mathematically well-defined ensembles of random objects. The goal of the present paper is two-fold. First, we provide an introduction to CLE, a mathematica...

This is the second part of a work aimed at constructing the stress-energy tensor of conformal field theory (CFT) as a local “object” in conformal loop ensembles (CLE). This work lies in the wider context of re-constructing quantum field theory from mathematically well-defined ensembles of random objects. In the present paper, based on results of the first part, we identify the stressenergy tens...
متن کاملConformal Deformation from Normal to Hermitian Random Matrix Ensembles
We investigate the eigenvalues statistics of ensembles of normal randommatrices when their order N tends to infinite. In the model the eigenvalues have uniform density within a region determined by a simple analytic polynomial curve. We study the conformal deformations of normal random ensembles to Hermitian random ensembles and give sufficient conditions for the latter to be a Wigner ensemble.
