### Multi-point Green’s functions for SLE and an estimate of Beffara

#### Abstract

In this paper we define and prove of the existence of the multi-point Green’s function for $\mbox{SLE}$—a normalized limit of the probability that an $\mbox{SLE}_{\kappa}$ curve passes near to a pair of marked points in the interior of a domain. When $\kappa<8$ this probability is nontrivial, and an expression can be written in terms two-sided radial $\mbox{SLE}$. One of the main components to our proof is a refinement of a bound first provided by Beffara [Ann. Probab. 36 (2008) 1421–1452]. This work contains a proof of this bound independent from the original.
