Stochastic Loewner evolution in multiply connected domains

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We construct radial stochastic Loewner evolution in multiply connected domains, choosing the unit disk with concentric circular slits as a family of standard domains. The natural driving function or input is a diffusion on the associated Teichm"uller space. The diffusion stops when it reaches the boundary of the Teichm"uller space. We show that for this driving function the family of random growing compacts has a phase transition for kappa=4 and kappa=8, and that it satisfies locality for kappa=6.


Stochastic Loewner evolutions have been studied in several recent papers by Lawler, Schramm and Werner, both in a chordal and radial setting. The associated processes SLE\(_{\kappa}\) \((\kappa>0)\) are simple curves for \(\kappa\leq 4\), space-filling for \(\kappa \geq 8\) and satisfy the locality property for \(\kappa=6\). The paper under review tackles the case of multiply connected domains and introduces the radial Komatu-Loewner equation. When using a random slit, one may conclude that the Komatu-Loewner equation should be driven by a diffusion on the associated moduli space. As in the simply connected case, phase transition occurs at \(\kappa=4\) and \(\kappa=8\), and locality is satisfied for \(\kappa=6\).
