The Conformal Markov property of SLE states that, conditional on the hull , the image under of the future hull has the same law as the original hull and is independent of the past.
For a Loewner chain with continuous driver , this property says that is independent of the past and has the same distribution as . Thus has stationary increments and independent increments. Every continuous process with those properties is a Brownian motion with drift, so . Conformal scale invariance gives
which forces . Writing yields
