Connecting SLE and minisuperspace Liouville gravity
arXiv:0709.3664
Abstract
We show that Fokker-Planck equation for chordal SLE process under a simple rescaling of the probability density can be traced to the minisuperspace Wheeler-de Witt equation for boundary operator in 2d Liouville gravity. Insertion of an operator, calculating SLE critical exponent, corresponds to adding matter contribution to WdW equation. This observation may be useful for understanding of why SLE critical exponents are given by KPZ gravitational scaling dimensions. Possible applications of the obtained relation are discussed.
