Abstract
We consider some probabilistic and analytic realizations of Virasoro highest-weight representations. Specifically, we consider measures on paths connecting points marked on the boundary of a (bordered) Riemann surface. These Schramm–Loewner evolution-type measures are constructed by the method of localization in path space. Their partition function (total mass) is the highest-weight vector of a Virasoro representation, and the action is given by Virasoro uniformization. We review the formalism of Virasoro uniformization, which allows to define a canonical action of Virasoro generators on functions (or sections) on a—suitably extended—Teichmüller space. Then we describe the construction of families of measures on paths indexed by marked bordered Riemann surfaces. Finally we relate these two notions by showing that the partition functions of the latter generate a highest-weight representation—the quotient of a reducible Verma module—for the former.
