Here are some references to recent papers, preprints, and drafts. For references to older papers you may check my vita. My research is partially supported by the National Science Foundation.

For some _rough_ drafts of some other material you can check in progress. Included there are working chapters on my book project on SLE and related mathematics.

Mulltifractal analysis of the reverse flow for the Schramm-Lowener evolution This paper is based on the preprint "Dimension and natural parametrization for SLE'' that was never published. (Some of the material in the latter preprint went into the paper with S. Sheffield). The final version appears in Fractal Geometry Stochastics IV published by Birkh\"auser.

Partition functions, loop measures, and versions of SLE This is an informal paper discussing the correct definition of ``annulus'' and ``radial from an interior point'' so that one expects reversibility to hold. There are more open questions than results in this paper. The final version appears in Journal of Statistical Physics.
