Random curves, scaling limits and Loewner evolutions    [PDF]

Antti Kemppainen, Stanislav Smirnov
In this paper, we provide framework of estimates for describing 2D scaling limits by Schramm's SLE curves. In particular, we show that a weak estimate on the probability of an annulus crossing implies that a random curve arising from a statistical mechanics model will have scaling limits and those will be well-described by Loewner evolutions with random driving forces. Interestingly, our proofs indicate that existence of a nondegenerate observable with a conformally-invariant scaling limit seems sufficient to deduce the required condition. Our paper serves as an important step in establishing the convergence of Ising and FK Ising interfaces to SLE curves, moreover, the setup is adapted to branching interface trees, conjecturally describing the full interface picture by a collection of branching SLEs.
