Smirnov's O(n)-model interface conjecture

From papers

Fix n[0,2]n\in[0,2] and consider the loop O(n)O(n) model with an interface between boundary points aa and bb. Smirnov's O(n)-model interface conjecture. For z=1/2+2nz=1/\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2-n}}, the interface converges, as the lattice spacing tends to zero, to

SLEκwithκ=4π2πarccos(n/2).\mathrm{SLE}_\kappa\quad\text{with}\quad\kappa=\frac{4\pi}{2\pi-\arccos(-n/2)}.

For z>1/2+2nz>1/\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2-n}}, it converges to

SLEκwithκ=4πarccos(n/2).\mathrm{SLE}_\kappa\quad\text{with}\quad\kappa=\frac{4\pi}{\arccos(-n/2)}.

This extends the proved n=1n=1, z=1/3z=1/\sqrt{3} case, where the interface converges to SLE3\mathrm{SLE}_3; the other parameter regimes are presented as conjectural.
