SLE and Virasoro representations: localization (Q2018304)

The author considers Schramm-Loewner evolution-type measures [\textit{O. Schramm}, Isr. J. Math. 118, 221--288 (2000; Zbl 0968.60093)] constructed by the method of localization in path space. Their partition function (total mass) is the highest-weight vector of a Virasoro representation, and the action is given by the Virasoro uniformization. The author reviews the formalism of the Virasoro uniformization, describes the construction of families of measures on paths indexed by marked bordered Riemann surfaces and shows that the corresponding partition functions generate a highest-weight representation.
