Suppose that h is a Gaussian free field (GFF) on a planar domain. Fix κ ∈ (0, 4). The SLE κ light cone L(θ) of h with opening angle θ ∈ [0, π] is the set of points reachable from a given boundary point by angle-varying flow lines of the (formal) vector field e ih/χ , χ = 2 √ κ − √ κ 2 , with angles in [− θ 2 , θ 2 ]. We derive the Hausdorff dimension of L(θ). If θ = 0 then L(θ) is an ordinary SLE κ curve (with κ < 4); if θ = π then L(θ) is the range of an SLE κ curve (κ = 16/κ > 4). In these extremes, this leads to a new proof of the Hausdorff dimension formula for SLE. We also consider SLE κ (ρ) processes, which were originally only defined for ρ > − 2, but which can also be defined for ρ ≤ −2 using Lévy compensation. The range of an SLE κ (ρ) is qualitatively different when ρ ≤ −2. In particular, these curves are selfintersecting for κ < 4 and double points are dense, while ordinary SLE κ is simple. It was previously shown (Miller and Sheffield in Gaussian free field light cones and SLE κ (ρ), 2016) that certain SLE κ (ρ) curves agree in law with certain light cones. Combining this with other known results, we obtain a general formula for the Hausdorff dimension of SLE κ (ρ) for all values of ρ. Finally, we show that the Hausdorff dimension of the so-called SLE κ fan is the same as that of ordinary SLE κ .
