Abstract: We study the probabilities with which chordal Schramm-Loewner Evolutions (SLE) visit small neighborhoods of boundary points. We find formulas for general chordal SLE boundary visiting probability amplitudes, also known as SLE boundary zig-zags or order refined SLE multi-point Green's functions on the boundary. Remarkably, an exact answer can be found to this important SLE question for an arbitrarily large number of marked points. The main technique employed is a spin chain-Coulomb gas correspondence between tensor product representations of a quantum group and functions given by Dotsenko-Fateev type integrals. We show how to express these integral formulas in terms of regularized real integrals, and we discuss their numerical evaluation. The results are universal in the sense that apart from an overall multiplicative constant the same formula gives the amplitude for many different formulations of the SLE boundary visit problem. The formula also applies to renormalized boundary visit probabilities for interfaces in critical lattice models of statistical mechanics: we compare the results with numerical simulations of percolation, loop-erased random walk, and Fortuin-Kasteleyn random cluster models at Q=2 and Q=3, and find good agreement.

Review text

The present paper deals with the probabilities with which chordal Schramm-Loewner evolutions (SLE) visit small neighborhoods of boundary points. The authors employ a method based on quantum group calculations which allow them to explicitly calculate solutions of the chordal SLE\(_k\) boundary visit probability amplitudes. The solutions are expressed in terms of linear combinations of Coulomb gas integrals and can be transformed into regularized real integrals. Here, the authors also use the technique of a spin chain-Coulomb gas correspondence between tensor product representations of a quantum group and functions given by Dotsenko-Fateev type integrals. In particular, the obtained formulas are applied to the renormalized scaling limit boundary visit probabilities for lattice model interfaces. The results are compared with numerical simulations of percolation, loop-erased random walks, and Fortuin-Kasteleyn random cluster models.
