The canonical SLE-reversible Weil--Petersson response diffusion

Abstract

The rough response calculus for the rotationally marked SLE welding law gives a closed Weil--Petersson energy but does not by itself give a process on rough weldings. For $0<κ\leq4$, we prove that this form is quasi-regular in the natural topology of circle homeomorphisms and therefore generates a canonical diffusion reversible with respect to the SLE welding probability. The proof constructs a compact form nest from inverse arc masses. We identify the generator as $-D^*D$ and prove absolute $L^2$ convergence of its Fourier expansion on the response cylinder core, together with the Fukushima decomposition. A common Fourier noise and planar estimates preventing boundary collapse yield a second quasi-regular realization by normalized Jordan welding triples. The diffusion is irreducible and converges strongly in $L^2$ to equilibrium. For $0<κ<4$, the complement of the conformally removable welding locus has zero capacity.
