Classifying conformally invariant loop measures

Abstract

We formulate a classification conjecture for conformally invariant families of measures on simple loops that builds on a conjecture of Kontsevich and Suhov. The main example in this class of objects was constructed by Werner as boundaries of Brownian loops. We present partial results towards the algebraic step of this classification. Solving this conjecture would provide another argument explaining why planar statistical mechanics models with conformally invariant scaling limits naturally occur in a one-parameter family, together with the dynamical characterization of SLE via Schramm's central limit argument, and with the conformal field theory point of view and its central charge parameter.
