Rotational Brownian motion Rotational Brownian motion Rotational Brownian motion is the random change in the orientation of a polar molecule due to collisions with other molecules. It is an important element of theories of dielectric materials. The polarization of a dielectric material is a competition between torques due to the imposed electric field, which tend to align the molecules, and collisions, which tend to destroy the alignment. The theory of rotational Brownian motion allows one to calculate the net result of these two competing effects, and to predict how the permittivity of a dielectric material depends on the strength and frequency of the
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
