Recursive relations for the S-matrix of Liouville theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-07-17 v1

Abstract

We analyze the relation between the vertex operators of the in and out fields in Liouville theory. This is used to derive equations for the S-matrix, from which a recursive relation for the normal symbol of the S-matrix for discrete center-of-mass momenta is obtained. Its solution is expressed as multiple contour-integrals of a generalized Dotsenko-Fateev type. This agrees with the functional integral representation of the scattering matrix of Liouville theory which we had proposed previously.
