Two-sided SLE8/3 and self-avoiding polygons" and "Laplacian random walk and SLE", part I
Speaker:
Gregory Lawler, University of Chicago
Date and Time:
Friday, September 23, 2005 - 11:00am to 12:00pm
Location:
Fields Institute, Room 230
Abstract:
In two talks I will discuss two discrete models for which conformal invariance in the limit is only a conjecture, the self avoiding walk/polygon and the Laplacian random walk with exponent b. I will discuss the conjectures about the limits and discuss particular properties of SLE which lead one to make these conjectures. There will be some discussion of non-simply-connected domains.
