On stochastic evolutions and superconformal field theory. (English) Zbl 1119.81386

Summary: Links between certain stochastic evolutions of conformal maps and conformal field theory have been studied in the realm of SLE and by utilizing singular vectors in highest-weight modules of the Virasoro algebra. It was recently found that this scenario could be extended to stochastic evolutions of superconformal maps of \(N=1\) superspace with links to superconformal field theory and singular vectors of the \(N=1\) superconformal algebra in the Neveu–Schwarz sector. Here we discuss the analogous extension to the Ramond sector. We also discuss how the links are modified when an unconventional superconformal structure or superderivative is employed.
