Critical Exponents near a Random Fractal Boundary
  The critical behaviour of correlation functions near a boundary is modified from that in the bulk. When the boundary is smooth this is known to be characterised by the surface scaling dimension $\xt$. We consider the case when the boundary is a random fractal, specifically a self-avoiding walk or the frontier of a Brownian walk, in two dimensions, and show that the boundary scaling behaviour of the correlation function is characterised by a set of multifractal boundary exponents, given exactly by conformal invariance arguments to be $\lambda_n = 1/48 (\sqrt{1+24n\xt}+11)(\sqrt{1+24n\xt}-1)$. This result may be interpreted in terms of a scale-dependent distribution of opening angles $\alpha$ of the fractal boundary: on short distance scales these are sharply peaked around $\alpha=\pi/3$. Similar arguments give the multifractal exponents for the case of coupling to a quenched random bulk geometry.
