Is negative-weight percolation compatible with SLE?
  We study numerically the geometrical properties of minimally weighted paths that appear in the negative-weight percolation (NWP) model on two-dimensional lattices assuming a combination of periodic and free boundary conditions (BCs). Each realization of the disorder consists of a random fraction 1-rho of bonds with unit strength and a fraction rho of bond strengths drawn from a Gaussian distribution with zero mean and unit width. For each such sample, the path is forced to span the lattice along the direction with the free BCs. The path and a set of negatively weighted loops form a ground state (GS). A ground state on such a lattice can be determined performing a non-trivial transformation of the original graph and applying sophisticated matching algorithms. Here we examine whether the geometrical properties of the paths are in accordance with predictions of Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE). Measuring the fractal dimension and reviewing Schramm's left passage formula indicates that the paths cannot be described in terms of SLE.
