Scaling limits and the Schramm-Loewner evolution

Gregory F. Lawler, University of Chicago


Abstract
These notes are from my mini-courses given at the PIMS summer school in 2010 at the University of Washington and at the Cornell probability summer school in 2011. The goal was to give an introduction to the Schramm-Loewner evolution to graduate students with background in probability. This is not intended to be a comprehensive survey of SLE.
