DESCRIPTION:Watersheds are Schramm-Loewner Evolution Curves\nKabir Ramola\,
  Post-Doc LPTMS\nSLE has grown in prominence over the last decade and has 
 helped unify several aspects of critical phenomena\, percolation theory an
 d conformal field theory. This paper discusses an interesting real world a
 pplication of this somewhat technical subject.\nhttp://prl.aps.org/abstrac
 t/PRL/v109/i21/e218701\nE. Daryaei\, N. A. M. Arau´jo\, K. J. Schrenk\, S
 . Rouhani\, and H. J. Herrmann\nAbstract of the article : We show that in 
 the continuum limit watersheds dividing drainage basins are Schramm-Loewne
 r evolution (SLE) curves\, being described by one single parameter κ. Sev
 eral numerical evaluations are applied to ascertain this. All calculations
  are consistent with SLEκ\, with κ=1.734±0.005\, being the only known p
 hysical example of an SLE with κ&lt\;2. This lies outside the well-known 
 duality conjecture\, bringing up new questions regarding the existence and
  reversibility of dual models. Furthermore\, it constitutes a strong indic
 ation for conformal invariance in random landscapes and suggests that wate
 rsheds likely correspond to a logarithmic conformal field theory with a ce
 ntral charge c≈-7/2.
