For , the Chordal Loewner equation and give
Put . The common Brownian term cancels, so
The Itô formula applied to gives
Since
the clock and its inverse turn the local-martingale term into Brownian motion by the Dambis-Dubins-Schwarz theorem. Therefore
This is the SLE boundary-point logarithmic separation diffusion.
SLE does not hit a fixed nonzero boundary point Created 2026-09-28 Updated 2026-11-05
For a fixed , a chordal SLE trace in satisfies
For the trace avoids the entire nonzero real boundary. For it meets a random boundary subset but misses each predetermined point. A fixed point is nevertheless swallowed almost surely in this latter range: visiting and disconnecting from infinity are different events.[ref]
The restriction is essential. At , the strict ordering threshold for SLE boundary swallowing and real-line visitation from strict SLE swallowing order give visits to every real boundary point. The SLE boundary-point logarithmic separation diffusion proves the below-eight fixed-point assertion through the probability of swallowing before a nearby point; its limiting behavior changes at eight.
