Chordal filling

A chordal filling is the closed connected set obtained from a proper boundary-to-boundary path by adding complementary pockets disconnected from both boundary arcs between its marked endpoints. In $(\mathbb{H},0,\infty )$ it meets the boundary only at zero and infinity and leaves two complementary simply connected sides, adjacent to the negative and positive real axes. Equivalently it is full with respect to the two marked boundary arcs. This definition uses the prime ends of a general simply connected domain and is preserved by conformal maps.

The probabilities that a random chordal filling avoids each admissible compact H-hull away from zero determine its law as an unparameterized closed set. Each point of its complement can be joined to the relevant real boundary arc through the complement and lies in a thin rational polygonal tube attached to that arc. These countably many hull tests recover the complement. Their joint avoidance events are tested by filled finite unions; if a union separates zero from infinity, the joint avoidance event is empty. Otherwise connectedness makes avoidance of the union equivalent to avoidance of its filled hull. Thus individual hull probabilities give every finite joint indicator distribution and determine the random complement.
