Abstract: S. Rohde and O. Schramm have recently shown that the SLE trace is Hölder continuous (2005). However, their results are not optimal for all values of $ \kappa$ and only yield a Hölder exponent near $ \frac{1}{2}$ for $ \kappa$ near 0. In this paper, we give improved lower bounds on the optimal Hölder exponent for two natural parametrizations of the SLE trace. Our estimates give a Hölder exponent near 1 for $ \kappa$ near 0, as expected. The work of I. Binder and B. Duplantier (2002) suggests that our results are optimal for the two parametrizations considered.
