Conformally invariant scaling limits in planar critical percolation
This is an introductory account of the emergence of conformal invariance in the scaling limit of planar critical percolation. We give an exposition of Smirnov's theorem (2001) on the conformal

Under some general assumptions, we construct the scaling limit of open clusters and their associated counting measures in a class of two dimensional percolation models. Our results apply, in
The scaling limits of near-critical and dynamical percolation
• Mathematics
• 2013
We prove that near-critical percolation and dynamical percolation on the triangular lattice $\eta \mathbb{T}$ have a scaling limit as the mesh $\eta \to 0$, in the "quad-crossing" space $\mathcal{H}$
The Full Scaling Limit of Two-Dimensional Critical Percolation
• Mathematics
• 2005
We use SLE(6) paths to construct a process of continuum nonsimple loops in the plane and prove that this process coincides with the full continuum scaling limit of 2D critical site percolation on the
Two-dimensional scaling limits via marked nonsimple loops
• Physics
• 2006
Abstract.We postulate the existence of a natural Poissonian marking of the double (touching) points of SLE6 and hence of the related continuum nonsimple loop process that describes macroscopic
Percolation crossing formulae and conformal field theory
• Mathematics
• 2007
Using conformal field theory, we derive several new crossing formulae at the two-dimensional percolation point. High-precision simulation confirms these results. Integrating them gives a unified
Is critical 2D percolation universal
The aim of these notes is to explore possible ways of extending Smirnov’s proof of Cardy’s formula for critical site-percolation on the triangular lattice to other cases (such as bond-percolation on
On Crossing Event Formulas in Critical Two-Dimensional Percolation
Several formulas for crossing functions arising in the continuum limit of critical two-dimensional percolation models are studied. These include Watts's formula for the horizontal-vertical crossing
Critical percolation: the expected number of clusters in a rectangle
• Mathematics, Physics
• 2009
We show that for critical site percolation on the triangular lattice two new observables have conformally invariant scaling limits. In particular the expected number of clusters separating two pairs

Theoretical physics predicts that conformal invariance plays a crucial role in the macroscopic behavior of a wide class of two-dimensional models in statistical physics (see, e.g., [4], [6]). For

In this review paper, we first discuss some open problems related to two-dimensional self-avoiding paths and critical percolation. We then review some closely related results (joint work with Greg

Random systems of curves exhibiting fluctuating features on arbitrarily small scales (δ) are often encountered in critical models. For such systems it is shown that scale-invariant bounds on the

In a series of recent preprints, we have proven that with probability one the Hausdorff dimension on the outer boundary of planar Brownian motion is 4/3, confirming a conjecture by Mandelbrot. It is
