The critical connectivity and Sierpiński-carpet conjecture for SLE

For κ∈(4,8)\kappa \in (4,8), let η\eta be an SLEκ_\kappa curve from 00 to ∞\infty in H\mathbb{H}. The adjacency graph of the connected components of H∖η\mathbb{H} \setminus \eta has vertices given by those components, with two vertices adjacent when the corresponding boundaries intersect. Critical SLE connectivity conjecture. There exists κc∈(4,8)\kappa_c \in (4,8) such that for κ∈(4,κc)\kappa \in (4,\kappa_c) this graph is almost surely connected, whereas for κ∈(κc,8)\kappa \in (\kappa_c,8) it is almost surely disconnected and the range of η\eta contains a topological Sierpiński carpet. This conjecture proposes a phase transition between connected and disconnected bubble adjacency, with the latter accompanied by Sierpiński-carpet structure; the critical value and behavior at κ=κc\kappa=\kappa_c remain open.
