SLE for theoretical physicists
Abstract
This article provides an introduction to Schramm (stochastic)-Loewner evolution (SLE) and to its connection with conformal field theory, from the point of view of its application to two-dimensional critical behaviour. The emphasis is on the conceptual ideas rather than rigorous proofs.
