Boundary-point swallowing time for a Loewner chain
= Boundary-point swallowing time for a Loewner chain
{title2=$T_b$}
= Boundary swallowing time
{synonym}
For a real point $b$ away from the initial driver, this is the maximal lifetime of the real solution $\partial_tg_t(b)=2/(g_t(b)-\xi_t)$. At finite lifetime its centred image collides with the <Loewner driving function>. A point may be visited or separated from infinity by the hull, so swallowing is not the same as an individual trace visit.
