Canonical Quantization of the Liouville Theory , Quantum Group Structures , and Correlation Functions

چکیده
We describe a self-consistent canonical quantization of Liouville theory in terms of canonical free fields. In order to keep the non-linear Liouville dynamics, we use the solution of the Liouville equation as a canonical transformation. This also defines a Liouville vertex operator. We show, in particular, that a canonical quantized conformal and local quantum Liouville theory has a quantum group structure, and we discuss correlation functions for non-critical strings.

A Causal Algebra for Liouville Exponentials
A causal Poisson bracket algebra for Liouville exponentials on a cylinder is derived using an exchange algebra for free fields describing the in and out asymptotics. The causal algebra involves an even number of space-time points with a minimum of four. A quantum realisation of the algebra is obtained which preserves causality and the local form of non-equal time brackets. Following Polyakov’s ...
متن کاملQuantum Squeezed Light Propagation in an Optical Parity-Time (PT)-Symmetric Structure
We investigate the medium effect of a parity-time (PT)-symmetric bilayer on the quantum optical properties of an incident squeezed light at zero temperature (T=0 K). To do so, we use the canonical quantization approach and describe the amplification and dissipation properties of the constituent layers of the bilayer structure by Lorentz model to analyze the quadrature squeezing of the outgoing ...
متن کاملCanonical Theory of 2D Gravity Coupled to Conformal Matter
A canonical quantization for two dimensional gravity models, including a dilaton gravity model, is performed in a way suitable for the light-cone gauge. We extend the theory developed by Abdalla et.al.[1] and obtain the correlation functions by using the screening charges of the symmetry algebra. It turns out that the role of the cosmological constant term in the Liouville theory is played by t...
متن کاملA Note on Quantum Liouville Theory via Quantum Group ——- An Approach to Strong Coupling Liouville Theory ——-
Quantum Liouville theory is annualized in terms of the infinite dimensional representations of Uqsl(2,C) with q a root of unity. Making full use of characteristic features of the representations, we show that vertex operators in this Liouville theory are factorized into classical vertex operators and those which are constructed from the finite dimensional representations of Uqsl(2,C). We furthe...
متن کاملMaking the gravitational path integral more Lorentzian or Life beyond Liouville gravity
In two space-time dimensions, there is a theory of Lorentzian quantum gravity which can be defined by a rigorous, non-perturbative path integral and is inequivalent to the well-known theory of (Euclidean) quantum Liouville gravity. It has a number of appealing features: i) its quantum geometry is non-fractal, ii) it remains consistent when coupled to matter, even beyond the c=1 barrier, iii) it...
