Abstract
In this paper we present a historical and scientific account of the development of the theory of the Löwner–Kufarev classical and stochastic equations spanning the 90-year period from the seminal paper by K. Löwner in 1923 to recent generalizations and stochastic versions and their relations to conformal field theory.
