Schramm: scaling limits of loop-erased walks and uniform spanning trees

Formulated a Loewner evolution driven by Brownian motion as the candidate conformally invariant scaling limit for planar loop-erased random walk, establishing foundational properties conditionally and introducing the process later called SLE.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The record is Schramm’s sole-author paper published in 2000 after a 1999 preprint. The paper explicitly treated conformal invariance of LERW as a conjecture; later proofs by Lawler, Schramm and Werner and later SLE developments remain separate.
