Title: An introduction to Schramm-Lowener Evolution

Abstract: Schramm Lowener Evolution is the natural scaling limit of several random processes in the complex plane that satisfy certain properties related to spatial independence (a Markov property) and conformal invariance. As such, it arises as a scaling limit of several statistical mechanics models where interfaces are supposed to be conformally invariant. In this talk, I will define SLE and establish some of its properties
