The former is the measure of the jaggedness of the curves while the latter quantifies their tendency to form logarithmic spirals. We show how these characteristics are related to local operators of conformal field theory and how they can be computed using conformal invariance of critical systems with central charge $c \\leqslant 1$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-07-01T17:39:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "conformal field theory", "harmonic measure", "critical curves", "statistics", "form logarithmic spirals" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics A Mathematical General", "year": 2008, "month": "Jul", "volume": 41, "number": 28, "pages": 285006 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008JPhA...41B5006B" } } }
