Classical-limit conjecture for multiple chordal SLE(0) partition functions

Let Zα(z,u)\mathcal{Z}_{\alpha}(\boldsymbol{z},u) and Zα(x)\mathcal{Z}_{\alpha}(\boldsymbol{x}) be pure partition functions, and let Φ(x,ξ,u)\Phi(\boldsymbol{x},\boldsymbol{\xi},u) and Φ(x,ξ)\Phi(\boldsymbol{x},\boldsymbol{\xi}) denote the corresponding multiple chordal SLE(0) master functions. In the first case, ξ\boldsymbol{\xi} is a critical point of Φ(x,ξ,u)\Phi(\boldsymbol{x},\boldsymbol{\xi},u); in the second, it is a critical point of Φ(x,ξ)\Phi(\boldsymbol{x},\boldsymbol{\xi}). Classical-limit conjecture. As κ0\kappa\rightarrow0, the normalized pure partition functions have limits concentrated on critical points of the relevant master function, namely

limκ0Zα(z)κ=Φ(x,ξ,u)\underset{\kappa\rightarrow0}{\lim}\mathcal{Z}_{\alpha}(\boldsymbol{z})^{\kappa}=\Phi(\boldsymbol{x},\boldsymbol{\xi},u)

and, in the special case u=u=\infty,

limκ0Zα(x)κ=Φ(x,ξ).\underset{\kappa\rightarrow0}{\lim}\mathcal{Z}_{\alpha}(\boldsymbol{x})^{\kappa}=\Phi(\boldsymbol{x},\boldsymbol{\xi}).

Here ξ\boldsymbol{\xi} is a critical point of the corresponding master function. This conjecture formalizes the heuristic steepest-descent passage from multiple chordal SLE(κ\kappa) partition functions to the deterministic multiple chordal SLE(0) system. The existence and concentration of these limits are not established in the supplied text.
