Abstract

We compute the disk 1-point function in timelike Liouville theory. Using the Coulomb gas formalism and analytically continuing in the number of screening operators, we derive an explicit formula, which is shown to satisfy the correct reflection symmetry, to have the expected self-dual properties, to fulfill the bootstrap shift-equations, and to reduce to previous known results in the appropriate limits. In the limit of zero cosmological constant, our result reproduces the one recently obtained in arXiv:2505.09390.
