On Conformal Field Theory and Stochastic Loewner Evolution

preprint2004arXivOpen access

Abstract

We describe Stochastic Loewner Evolution on arbitrary Riemann surfaces with boundary using Conformal Field Theory methods. We propose in particular a CFT construction for a probability measure on (clouded) paths, and check it against known restriction properties. The probability measure can be thought of as a section of the determinant bundle over moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. Loewner evolutions have a natural description in terms of random walk in the moduli space, and the stochastic diffusion equation translates to the Virasoro action of a certain weight-two operator on a uniformised version of the determinant bundle.
