Conformal Field Theories of Stochastic Loewner Evolutions

[ CFTs of SLEs ] Michel Bauer1 and Denis Bernard2 Service de Physique Théorique de Saclay CEA/DSM/SPhT, Unité de recherche associée au CNRS CEA-Saclay, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, France Abstract Stochastic Loewner evolutions (SLEκ) are random growth pro- cesses of sets, called hulls, embedded in the two dimensional upper half plane. We elaborate and develop a relation between SLEκ evo- lutions and conformal field theories (CFT) which is based on a group theoretical formulation of SLEκ processes and on the identification of the proper hull boundary states. This allows us to define an in- finite set of SLEκ zero modes, or martingales, whose existence is a consequence of the existence of a null vector in the appropriate Vira- soro modules. This identification leads, for instance, to linear systems for generalized crossing probabilities whose coefficients are multipoint CFT correlation functions. It provides a direct link between confor- mal correlation functions and probabilities of stopping time events in SLEκ evolutions. We point out a relation between SLEκ processes and two dimensional gravity and conjecture a reconstruction proce- dure of conformal field theories from SLEκ data. 1Email: [email protected] 2Member of the CNRS; email: [email protected] 1 1 Introduction. Two dimensional conformal field theories [2] have produced an enormous amount of exact results for multifractal properties of conformally invariant critical clusters.

Second Kind Integral Equations for the Classical Potential Theory on Open Surfaces I: Analytical Apparatus

The performance of the obtained apparatus is illustrated with several numerical examples. Ó 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. AMS: 65R10; 77C05 Keywords: Open surface problems; Laplace equation; Finite Hilbert transform; Second kind integral equation; Dirichlet problem 1. Introduction Integral equations have been one of principal tools for the numerical solution of scattering problems for more than 30 years, both in the Helmholtz and Maxwell environments. Historically, most of the equations used have been of the ﬁrst kind, since numerical instabilities associated with such equations have not been critically important for the relatively small-scale problems that could be handled at the time. The combination of improved hardware with the recent progress in the design of ‘‘fast’’ algorithms has changed the situation dramatically. Condition numbers of systems of linear algebraic equations resulting from the discretization of integral equations of potential theory have become critical, and the simplest way to limit such condition numbers is by starting with second kind integral equations. Hence, interest has increased in reducing scattering problems to systems of second kind integral equations on the boundaries of the scatterers.

WICK TYPE DEFORMATION QUANTIZATION OF FEDOSOV MANIFOLDS V. A. DOLGUSHEV, S. L. LYAKHOVICH, AND A. A. SHARAPOV Abstract. A coordinate-free definition for Wick-type symbols is given for symplectic manifolds by means of the Fedosov procedure. The main ingredient of this approach is a bilinear symmetric form defined on the complexified tangent bundle of the symplectic manifold and subject to some set of algebraic and differential conditions. It is precisely the structure which describes a deviation of the Wick-type star-product from the Weyl one in the first order in the deformation parameter. The geometry of the symplectic manifolds equipped by such a bilinear form is explored and a cer- tain analogue of the Newlander-Nirenberg theorem is presented. The 2-form is explicitly identified which cohomological class coincides with the Fedosov class of the Wick-type star-product. For the particular case of Kähler manifold this class is shown to be proportional to the Chern class of a complex manifold. We also show that the symbol construction admits canonical superexten- sion, which can be thought of as the Wick-type deformation of the exterior algebra of differential forms on the base (even) manifold. Possible applications of the deformed superalgebra to the noncommutative field theory and strings are discussed. 1. Introduction The deformation quantization as it was originally defined in [1], [2] has now been well established for every symplectic manifold through the combined efforts of many authors (for review see [3]). The question of existence of the formal associative deformation for the commutative algebra of smooth functions, so-called star product, has been solved by De Wilde and Lecomte [4].

Potential Theory of Schr~Dingew Operator
PROBABILITY. AND MATHEMAT[CAL STATISTICS POTENTIAL THEORY OF SCHR~DINGEWOPERATOR - BASED -ONFRACTIONAL LABLACIAN 5 BY - Abstract. We develop potential theory of Schrdinger operators based on fractional Laplacian on Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimen- sion. We focus on questions related to gaugeability and existence of q-harmonic functions. Results are obtained by analyzing properties of a symmetric a-stable Gvy process on Rd, including the recurrent case. We provide some relevant techniques and apply them to give explicit examples of gauge functions for a general class of domains. 1W1 Mathematics Subject Claasificadon: Primary 31B25,60J50. Key words and phrases: symmetric a-stable Gvy process, Feyn- man-Kac semigroup, Schrodinger operator, q-harmonic functions, Kel- vin transform, conditional gauge theorem. 1. INTRODUCTION The paper deals with Schrodinger type operators corresponding to sym- metric a-stable Lbvy processes X,on Rd equipped with a multiplicative func- tional e,(t) = exp (lb q (X.)ds), where q is a given function (in a Kato class). We study the existence and properties of q-harmonic functions. In particular, we address ourselves to problems related to gaugeability. - - Many potential-theoretic properties of X, for aE(0, 2) are dramatically different from those of Brownian motion yet they may be regarded as typical for a general class of LCvy processes on Rd. This motivates a thorough study of the Feynman-Kac semigroups related to the symmetric stable Lbvy processes, especially that the explicit calculations are very often feasible in this particular case, which stimulates and enriches the general theory. Results of this paper complement the earlier ones contained in [6].Results of [6] were basically restricted to bounded Lipschitz domains and were based * Institute of Mathematics, Wroclaw University of Technology.

Combinatorics Meets Potential Theory
Combinatorics meets potential theory Philippe D'Arco Valentina Lacivita Institut des Sciences de la Terre de Paris Institut du Calcul et de la Simulation UniversitéPierre et Marie Curie Institut des Sciences de la Terre de Paris Paris, France UniversitéPierre et Marie Curie Paris, France Sami Mustapha Centre de Mathématiquesde Jussieu UniversitéPierre et Marie Curie Paris, France [email protected] Submitted: Jan 18, 2016; Accepted: Apr 23, 2016; Published: May 13, 2016 Mathematics Subject Classifications: 05A16,60G50 Abstract Using potential theoretic techniques, we show how it is possible to determine the dominant asymptotics for the number of walks of length n, restricted to the positive quadrant and taking unit steps in a \balanced" set Γ. The approach is illustrated through an example of inhomogeneous space walk. This walk takes its steps in f ; "; !; #g or f.; ; -; "; %; !; &; #g, depending on the parity of the n coordinatesp of its positions. The exponential growth of our model is (4φ) , where 1+ 5 φ = 2 denotes the Golden ratio, while the subexponential growth is like 1=n. As an application of our approach we prove the non-D-finiteness in two dimensions of the length generating functions corresponding to nonsingular small step sets with an infinite group and zero-drift. Keywords: Lattice path enumeration, analytic combinatorics in several variables, discrete potential theory, discrete harmonic functions. 1 Introduction Counting lattice walks in a fixed region R ⊂ Z2 is one of the most fundamental topics in enumerative combinatorics. In recent years, the case of walks confined to the first quadrant Q = f(x; y) 2 Z2; x > 0; y > 0g has been a subject of several important works (see [3,4,5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 26, 27, 32, 33, 34]).

In what follows, we consider Ω an open, bounded subset of Rn with C2 boundary. We let Ωc = Rn ¡ Ω (the open complement of Ω). We are interested in studying the following four problems: (a) Interior Dirichlet Problem. ½ ∆u = 0 x 2 Ω u = g x 2 @Ω: (b) Exterior Dirichlet Problem. ½ ∆u = 0 x 2 Ωc u = g x 2 @Ωc: (c) Interior Neumann Problem. ½ ∆u = 0 x 2 Ω @u @º = g x 2 @Ω: (d) Exterior Neumann Problem. ½ ∆u = 0 x 2 Ωc @u c @º = g x 2 @Ω : Previously, we have used Green’s representation, to show that if u is a C2 solution of the Interior Dirichlet Problem, then u is given by Z @G u(x) = ¡ g(y) (x; y) dS(y); @Ω @ºy where G(x; y) is the Green’s function for Ω. However, in general, it is difficult to calculate an explicit formula for the Green’s function. Here, we use a different approach to look for solutions to the Interior Dirichlet Problem, as well as to the other three problems above. Again, it’s difficult to calculate explicit solutions, but we will discuss existence of solutions and give representations for them. 5.2 Definitions and Preliminary Theorems.

Connection Between Brownian Motion and Potential Theory
JOIXNAL OF hlATIIEMATICA1. .~N.AI.YSIS AND APPLICATIOh’S 12, 328-349 (1965) Connection between Brownian Motion and Potential Theory Department of Mathematics, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey Submitted by John G. Kemeny 1. INTRODUCTION One of the fruitful achievements of probability theory in recent years has been the recognition that two seemingly unrelated theories in physics-- one for Brownian motion and one for potentials-are mathematically equivalent. That is, the results of the two theories are in one-to-one corre- spondence and any proof of a result in one theory can be translated directly into a proof of the corresponding result in the other theory. Although this connection has been known to some mathematicians for a number of years, the details have not been collected in any one source, and an exposition seems in order. Historically the first theorem indicating any connection was discovered by Kakutani in 1944. It was known that if D is a sufficiently nice bounded domain in the plane, then to each point x in D there is a measure pz on the boundary of D such that for any continuous function f on the boundary the unique harmonic function in D with f as boundary values has the value J-f dpz at x. In potential theory it turns out that if K is a nice compact suhsct of M(D), then pZ(K) is the value at x of a potential which is one on K and whose charge has all its mass on K. It was Kakutani’s observation in [I 31 that p&K) is also equal to the probability that a Brownian motion particle started at x reaches K before hitting Bd(D) - K.
