Liouville quantum gravity spheres as matings of finite-diameter trees
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the unit area Liouville quantum gravity sphere can be constructed in two equivalent ways. The first, which was introduced by the authors and Duplantier in [DMS14], uses a Bessel excursion measure to produce a Gaussian free field variant on the cylinder. The second uses a correlated Brownian loop and a “mating of trees” to produce a Liouville quantum gravity sphere decorated by a space-filling path. In the special case that γ = √ 8/3, we present a third equivalent construction, which uses the excursion measure of a 3/2-stable Lévy process (with only upward jumps) to produce a pair of trees of quantum disks that can be mated to produce a sphere decorated by SLE6. This construction is relevant to a program for showing that the γ = √ 8/3 Liouville quantum gravity sphere is equivalent to the Brownian map. 1 ar X iv :1 50 6. 03 80 4v 2 [ m at h.

Towards a Strong Coupling Liouville Gravity
A possibility of strong coupling quantum Liouville gravity is investigated via infinite dimensional representations of Uqsl(2,C) with q at a root of unity. It is explicitly shown that vertex operator in this model can be written by a tensor product of a vertex operator of the classical Liouville theory and that of weak coupling quantum Liouville theory. Some discussions about the strong couplin...
متن کاملNonperturbative Model of Liouville Gravity
We obtain nonperturbative results in the framework of continuous Liouville theory. In particular, we express the specific heat Z of pure gravity in terms of an expansion of integrals on moduli spaces of punctured Riemann spheres. The integrands are written in terms of the Liouville action. We show that Z satisfies the Painlevé I. Partly supported by the European Community Research Programme Gau...
متن کاملFrom Liouville Theory to the Quantum Geometry of Riemann Surfaces
• Quantum Liouville theory provides the simplest example for a two-dimensional conformal field theory with continuous spectrum . It can therefore be regarded as a paradigm for a whole new class of two-dimensional conformal field theories which are neither rational nor quasi-rational. • The quantized Liouville theory is related to quantized spaces of Riemann surfaces. This interpretation should ...
متن کاملQuantum Evaporation of Liouville Black Holes
The classical field equations of a Liouville field coupled to gravity in two spacetime dimensions are shown to have black hole solutions. Exact solutions are also obtained when quantum corrections due to back reaction effects are included, modifying both the ADM mass and the black hole entropy. The thermodynamic limit breaks down before evaporation of the black hole is complete, indicating that...
متن کاملConformal weldings of random surfaces: SLE and the quantum gravity zipper (rough draft)
We construct a conformal welding of two Liouville quantum gravity random surfaces and show that the interface between them is a random fractal curve called the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE), thereby resolving a variant of a conjecture of Peter Jones. We also demonstrate some surprising symmetries of this construction, which are consistent with the belief that (path-decorated) random planar ma...
