Conformally invariant (programming) invariant - A rule, such as the ordering of an ordered list or heap, that applies throughout the life of a data structure or procedure. Each change to the data structure must maintain the correctness of the invariant.  processes in the plane.

Drawn from a graduate course at Cornell University Cornell University, mainly at Ithaca, N.Y.; with land-grant, state, and private support; coeducational; chartered 1865, opened 1868. It was named for Ezra Cornell, who donated $500,000 and a tract of land. With the help of state senator Andrew D. , this textbook explores two-dimensional lattice models having continuum limits that are conformally invariant. Lawler introduces integration with respect to Brownian motion Brownian motion

Any of various physical phenomena in which some quantity is constantly undergoing small, random fluctuations. It was named for Robert Brown, who was investigating the fertilization process of flowers in 1827 when he noticed a “rapid oscillatory
 and continuous semimartingales, explains the Loewner differential equation differential equation

Mathematical statement that contains one or more derivatives. It states a relationship involving the rates of change of continuously changing quantities modeled by functions.
, derives conformally invariant measures on paths from complex Brownian motion, and analyzes the Loewner differential equation driven by Brownian motion.
