SLE local martingales in logarithmic representations

A space of local martingales of SLE type growth processes forms a representation of Virasoro algebra, but apart from a few simplest cases not much is known about this representation. The purpose of this article is to exhibit examples of representations where L_0 is not diagonalizable - a phenomenon characteristic of logarithmic conformal field theory. Furthermore, we observe that the local martingales bear a close relation with the fusion product of the boundary changing fields. Our examples reproduce first of all many familiar logarithmic representations at certain rational values of the central charge. In particular we discuss the case of SLE(kappa=6) describing the exploration path in critical percolation, and its relation with the question of operator content of the appropriate conformal field theory of zero central charge. In this case one encounters logarithms in a probabilistically transparent way, through conditioning on a crossing event. But we also observe that some quite natural SLE variants exhibit logarithmic behavior at all values of kappa, thus at all central charges and not only at specific rational values.Comment: 40 pages, 7 figures. v3: completely rewritten, new title, new result

Proposal for a CFT interpretation of Watts' differential equation for percolation

G. M. T. Watts derived that in two dimensional critical percolation the crossing probability Pi_hv satisfies a fifth order differential equation which includes another one of third order whose independent solutions describe the physically relevant quantities 1, Pi_h, Pi_hv. We will show that this differential equation can be derived from a level three null vector condition of a rational c=-24 CFT and motivate how this solution may be fitted into known properties of percolation.Comment: LaTeX, 20p, added references, corrected typos and additional content

N/V-limit for Langevin dynamics in continuum

We construct an infinite particle/infinite volume Langevin dynamics on the space of configurations in $\R^d$ having velocities as marks. The construction is done via a limiting procedure using $N$-particle dynamics in cubes $(-\lambda,\lambda]^d$ with periodic boundary conditions. A main step to this result is to derive an (improved) Ruelle bound for the canonical correlation functions of $N$-particle systems in $(-\lambda,\lambda]^d$ with periodic boundary conditions. After proving tightness of the laws of finite particle dynamics, the identification of accumulation points as martingale solutions of the Langevin equation is based on a general study of properties of measures on configuration space (and their weak limit) fulfilling a uniform Ruelle bound. Additionally, we prove that the initial/invariant distribution of the constructed dynamics is a tempered grand canonical Gibbs measure. All proofs work for general repulsive interaction potentials $\phi$ of Ruelle type (e.g. the Lennard-Jones potential) and all temperatures, densities and dimensions $d\geq 1$

Fusion algebra of critical percolation

We present an explicit conjecture for the chiral fusion algebra of critical percolation considering Virasoro representations with no enlarged or extended symmetry algebra. The representations we take to generate fusion are countably infinite in number. The ensuing fusion rules are quasi-rational in the sense that the fusion of a finite number of these representations decomposes into a finite direct sum of these representations. The fusion rules are commutative, associative and exhibit an sl(2) structure. They involve representations which we call Kac representations of which some are reducible yet indecomposable representations of rank 1. In particular, the identity of the fusion algebra is a reducible yet indecomposable Kac representation of rank 1. We make detailed comparisons of our fusion rules with the recent results of Eberle-Flohr and Read-Saleur. Notably, in agreement with Eberle-Flohr, we find the appearance of indecomposable representations of rank 3. Our fusion rules are supported by extensive numerical studies of an integrable lattice model of critical percolation. Details of our lattice findings and numerical results will be presented elsewhere.Comment: 12 pages, v2: comments and references adde
