See Schramm–Loewner evolution on Wikipedia.

Be it "stochastic Loewner evolution" or "Schramm–Loewner evolution", it probably is as paradigmatic in probability theory of the 21 century, as the Brownian motion is in probability theory of the 20 century.

Wendelin Werner was awarded Fields medal (2006) "for his contributions to the development of stochastic Loewner evolution, the geometry of two-dimensional Brownian motion, and conformal field theory".

Stanislav Smirnov was awarded Fields medal (2010) "for the proof of conformal invariance of percolation and the planar Ising model in statistical physics" (which is very much related to SLE).
