A Fast Algorithm for Simulating the Chordal Schramm-Loewner Evolution

The Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) can be simulated by dividing the time interval into N subintervals and approximating the random conformal map of the SLE by the composition of N random, but relatively simple, conformal maps. In the usual implementation the time required to compute a single point on the SLE curve is O(N). We give an algorithm for which the time to compute a single point is O(N^p) with p<1. Simulations with kappa=8/3 and kappa=6 both give a value of p of approximately 0.4.Comment: 17 pages, 10 figures.

Cluster simulations of loop models on two-dimensional lattices

We develop cluster algorithms for a broad class of loop models on two-dimensional lattices, including several standard O(n) loop models at n \ge 1. We show that our algorithm has little or no critical slowing-down when 1 \le n \le 2. We use this algorithm to investigate the honeycomb-lattice O(n) loop model, for which we determine several new critical exponents, and a square-lattice O(n) loop model, for which we obtain new information on the phase diagram.Comment: LaTex2e, 4 pages; includes 1 table and 2 figures.

Critical speeding-up in a local dynamics for the random-cluster model

We study the dynamic critical behavior of the local bond-update (Sweeny) dynamics for the Fortuin-Kasteleyn random-cluster model in dimensions d=2,3, by Monte Carlo simulation. We show that, for a suitable range of q values, the global observable S_2 exhibits "critical speeding-up": it decorrelates well on time scales much less than one sweep, so that the integrated autocorrelation time tends to zero as the critical point is approached. We also show that the dynamic critical exponent z_{exp} is very close (possibly equal) to the rigorous lower bound \alpha/\nu, and quite possibly smaller than the corresponding exponent for the Chayes-Machta-Swendsen-Wang cluster dynamics.Comment: LaTex2e/revtex4, 4 pages, includes 5 figure

Note on SLE and logarithmic CFT

It is discussed how stochastic evolutions may be linked to logarithmic conformal field theory. This introduces an extension of the stochastic Loewner evolutions. Based on the existence of a logarithmic null vector in an indecomposable highest-weight module of the Virasoro algebra, the representation theory of the logarithmic conformal field theory is related to entities conserved in mean under the stochastic process.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX, v2: version to be publishe

Global properties of Stochastic Loewner evolution driven by Levy processes

Standard Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) is driven by a continuous Brownian motion which then produces a trace, a continuous fractal curve connecting the singular points of the motion. If jumps are added to the driving function, the trace branches. In a recent publication [1] we introduced a generalized SLE driven by a superposition of a Brownian motion and a fractal set of jumps (technically a stable L\'evy process). We then discussed the small-scale properties of the resulting L\'evy-SLE growth process. Here we discuss the same model, but focus on the global scaling behavior which ensues as time goes to infinity. This limiting behavior is independent of the Brownian forcing and depends upon only a single parameter, $\alpha$, which defines the shape of the stable L\'evy distribution. We learn about this behavior by studying a Fokker-Planck equation which gives the probability distribution for endpoints of the trace as a function of time. As in the short-time case previously studied, we observe that the properties of this growth process change qualitatively and singularly at $\alpha =1$. We show both analytically and numerically that the growth continues indefinitely in the vertical direction for $\alpha > 1$, goes as $\log t$ for $\alpha = 1$, and saturates for $\alpha< 1$. The probability density has two different scales corresponding to directions along and perpendicular to the boundary. In the former case, the characteristic scale is $X(t) \sim t^{1/\alpha}$. In the latter case the scale is $Y(t) \sim A + B t^{1-1/\alpha}$ for $\alpha \neq 1$, and $Y(t) \sim \ln t$ for $\alpha = 1$. Scaling functions for the probability density are given for various limiting cases.Comment: Published versio

First passage times and distances along critical curves

We propose a model for anomalous transport in inhomogeneous environments, such as fractured rocks, in which particles move only along pre-existing self-similar curves (cracks). The stochastic Loewner equation is used to efficiently generate such curves with tunable fractal dimension $d_f$. We numerically compute the probability of first passage (in length or time) from one point on the edge of the semi-infinite plane to any point on the semi-circle of radius $R$. The scaled probability distributions have a variance which increases with $d_f$, a non-monotonic skewness, and tails that decay faster than a simple exponential. The latter is in sharp contrast to predictions based on fractional dynamics and provides an experimental signature for our model.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
