Abstract
We use the interpretation of the Schramm–Loewner evolution as a limit of path measures tilted by a loop term in order to motivate the definition of n-radial SLE going to a particular point. In order to justify the definition we prove that the measure obtained by an appropriately normalized loop term on n-tuples of paths has a limit. The limit measure can be described as n paths moving by the Loewner equation with a driving term of Dyson Brownian motion. While the limit process has been considered before, this paper shows why it naturally arises as a limit of configurational measures obtained from loop measures.
