SLE duality conjecture for boundary traces and conditional laws

At least 21 years old · documented by

Let κ>4\kappa>4 and set κ′=16/κ\kappa'=16/\kappa. In the configuration (H,x,y,z,∞)(\mathbb{H},x,y,z,\infty) with x<y<zx<y<z, let (Kt)(K_t) be the Loewner chain obtained by running an SLE⁡κ(κ/2−4,−κ/2)\operatorname{SLE}_\kappa(\kappa/2-4,-\kappa/2) started from (x,y,z)(x,y,z) toward ∞\infty until it hits zz, and then continuing as an SLE⁡κ(κ−4)\operatorname{SLE}_\kappa(\kappa-4) in the remaining domain. Let δ\delta be the Loewner trace of the right boundary of K∞K_\infty. In a second configuration (H,x′,y′,z′,∞)(\mathbb{H},x',y',z',\infty) with x′<y′<z′x'<y'<z', let γ′\gamma' be the trace of the chordal SLE⁡κ′(−κ′/2,κ′−2)\operatorname{SLE}_{\kappa'}(-\kappa'/2,\kappa'-2) started from (z′,x′,y′)(z',x',y') toward ∞\infty. SLE duality conjecture. The following statements hold: (i) the law of δ\delta is that of γ′\gamma', with x=x′x=x', y=y′y=y', and z=z′z=z'. (ii) Conditionally on δ[0,u]\delta_{[0,u]}, the law of (ϕδ[0,u](Kt))t≥0(\phi_{\delta_{[0,u]}}(K_t))_{t\geq 0} is, up to a time-change, that of a copy of (Kt)(K_t) started from (x′,y′,z′)=ϕδ[0,u](x,y,δu)(x',y',z')=\phi_{\delta_{[0,u]}}(x,y,\delta_u). This conjecture identifies the right boundary of a non-simple SLE⁡κ\operatorname{SLE}_\kappa construction with the corresponding simple dual SLE⁡16/κ\operatorname{SLE}_{16/\kappa} and predicts the associated conditional conformal Markov law.
