The Brownian bubble tea

Gregory F. Lawler, Fredrik Viklund, Yilin Wang +1

We use Loewner-Kufarev evolution to decompose the Brownian loop soup into a Poisson point process on Brownian bubbles which we call the Brownian bubble tea driven by , where …

On the Loewner energy of a welding homeomorphism

Shuo Fan, Fredrik Viklund, Yilin Wang

To any Jordan curve one may associate a circle homeomorphism via conformal welding. Through this correspondence, the Loewner energy , also kno…

Epstein curves and holography of the Schwarzian action

Franco Vargas Pallete, Yilin Wang, Catherine Wolfram

We apply Epstein's construction of hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic disk to prove identities between the Schwarzian action on $\operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb R)\backslash…

Piecewise geodesic Jordan curves II: Loewner energy, projective structures, and accessory parameters

Mario Bonk, Janne Junnila, Steffen Rohde +1

In this paper we consider Jordan curves on the Riemann sphere passing through given points. We show that in each relative isotopy class of such curves, there exists a uni…

Infinitesimal conformal restriction and unitarizing measures for Virasoro algebra

Maria Gordina, Wei Qian, Yilin Wang

We use the SLE loop measure to construct a natural representation of the Virasoro algebra of central charge . In particular, we introduce a non-degenerate bilin…

Universal Liouville action as a renormalized volume and its gradient flow

Martin Bridgeman, Kenneth Bromberg, Franco Vargas Pallete +1

The universal Liouville action (also known as the Loewner energy for Jordan curves) is a Kähler potential on the Weil-Petersson universal Teichmüller space, which is identified wit…

From the random geometry of conformally invariant systems to the Kähler geometry of universal Teichmüller space

Yilin Wang

The goal of this expository article is to explain how a fundamental functional on the space of Jordan curves arising from SLE - Loewner energy - is connected to a seemingly far apa…

Quasiconformal deformation of the chordal Loewner driving function and first variation of the Loewner energy

Jinwoo Sung, Yilin Wang

We derive the variational formula of the Loewner driving function of a simple chord under infinitesimal quasiconformal deformations with Beltrami coefficients supported away from t…

Circle homeomorphisms with square summable diamond shears

Dragomir Šarić, Yilin Wang, Catherine Wolfram

We introduce and the study the space of homeomorphisms of the circle (up to Möbius transformations) which are in with respect to modular coordinates called diamond shears…

Piecewise geodesic Jordan curves I: weldings, explicit computations, and Schwarzian derivatives

Donald Marshall, Steffen Rohde, Yilin Wang

We consider Jordan curves of the form on the Riemann sphere for which each is a hyperbolic geodesic in .…

The Loewner Energy via the Renormalised Energy of Moving Frames

Alexis Michelat, Yilin Wang

We obtain a new formula for the Loewner energy of Jordan curves on the sphere, which is a Kähler potential for the essentially unique Kähler metric on the Weil-Petersson universal…

Large deviations of Schramm-Loewner evolutions: A survey

Yilin Wang

These notes survey the first results on large deviations of Schramm-Loewner evolutions (SLE) with emphasis on interrelations between rate functions and applications to complex anal…

The Loewner-Kufarev Energy and Foliations by Weil-Petersson Quasicircles

Fredrik Viklund, Yilin Wang

We study foliations by chord-arc Jordan curves of the twice punctured Riemann sphere using the Loewner-Kufarev equation. We associate to such a fol…

Large deviations of multichordal SLE, real rational functions, and zeta-regularized determinants of Laplacians

Eveliina Peltola, Yilin Wang

We prove a strong large deviation principle (LDP) for multiple chordal SLE curves with respect to the Hausdorff metric. In the single-chord case, this result strengthens an…

Interplay between Loewner and Dirichlet energies via conformal welding and flow-lines

Fredrik Viklund, Yilin Wang

The Loewner energy of a Jordan curve is the Dirichlet energy of its Loewner driving term. It is finite if and only if the curve is a Weil-Petersson quasicircle. In this paper, we d…

A note on Loewner energy, conformal restriction and Werner's measure on self-avoiding loops

Yilin Wang

In this note, we establish an expression of the Loewner energy of a Jordan curve on the Riemann sphere in terms of Werner's measure on simple loops of SLE type. The proof i…

Equivalent Descriptions of the Loewner Energy

Yilin Wang

Loewner's equation provides a way to encode a simply connected domain or equivalently its uniformizing conformal map via a real-valued driving function of its boundary. The first m…
