Local Analysis of Loewner Equation

Abstract

Let $\lambda :[0,+\infty )\mapsto \mathbb{R}$ be the driving function of a chordal Loewner process. In this paper we find new conditions on $\lambda$ which imply that the process is generated by a simple curve. This result improves former one by Lind ,Marshall and Rhode, and it particular gives new results about the case $\lambda (t)=c{W}_b(t)$, $W_b$ being a Hölder-$1/2$ Weierstrass function. In the second part we find new conditions on $\lambda$ implying that the process is generated by a curve. The main tool here is a duality relation between the real part and the imaginary part of the Loewner equation.
