Rotational Brownian motion (astronomy) of supermassive black holes appear to be randomly aligned with respect to their host galaxies. Rotational Brownian motion (astronomy) In astronomy, rotational Brownian motion is the random walk in orientation of a binary star's orbital plane, induced by gravitational perturbations from passing stars. Consider a binary that consists of two massive objects (stars, black holes etc.) and that is embedded in a stellar system containing a large number of stars. Let formula_1 and formula_2 be the masses of the two components of the binary whose total mass is formula_3. A field star that approaches the binary with impact parameter formula_4
Schramm–Loewner evolution evolution is a probability measure on planar curves, given as the image of Wiener measure under this map. In general the curve γ need not be simple, and the domain "D" is not the complement of γ([0,"t"]) in "D", but is instead the unbounded component of the complement. There are two versions of SLE, using two families of curves, each depending on a non-negative real parameter κ: SLE depends on a choice of Brownian motion on the boundary of the domain, and there are several variations depending on what sort of Brownian motion is used: for example it might start
