SLE, Conformal Restriction, Loops

Abstract

There have been quite a few surveys or proceedings papers on the present subject of Schramm-Loewner Evolutions and 2D critical phenomena in recent years, such for instance as [38], [17], [18], [8], [42], as well as lecture notes [39], [16], [41], and a book [19] is in preparation. We will here try to review the subject including some recent and ongoing work, in an informal style close to that of an actual seminar talk.
