We study the probability that chordal SLE8/3 in the unit disk
from exp(ix) to 1 avoids the disk of radius q centered at zero. We find
the initial/boundary-value problem satisfied by this probability as a function
of x and a=lnq, and show that asymptotically as q tends to one this
probability decays like exp(−cx/(1−q)) with c=5π/8 for x∈[0,π]. We
also give a representation of this probability as a functional of a Legendre
process.Comment: 28 pages, corrected proof of asymptotic dependenc
