Abstract. For a non-tangential slit γ(t), the behavior of the driving function λ(t) near zero in the Loewner equation is well understood; for tangential slit, the situation is less clear. In this paper, we investigate the tangential slit Γ p , p > 0, where Γ is a circular arc tangent at 0; Γ p has order p+1 p near zero. Our main result is to give the exact expression of λ(t), and its Hölder exponent near 0 in terms of p, which has a natural connection with the known results. We also extend this to a general type of tangential slits, and give an estimation of the growth of λ(t) near 0.
