We have shown that two of the most studied models of lineal gravities - Liouville gravity and a ``string-inspired'' model exhibiting the main characteristic features of a black-hole solution - can be formulated as gauge invariant theories…
We compute bulk 3- and 4-point tachyon correlators in the 2d Liouville gravity with non-rational matter central charge c<1, following and comparing two approaches. The continuous CFT approach exploits the action on the tachyons of the…
We establish the first connection between $2d$ Liouville quantum gravity and natural dynamics of random matrices. In particular, we show that if $(U_t)$ is a Brownian motion on the unitary group at equilibrium, then the measures $$…
This paper elaborates on the bulk/boundary relation between negative cosmological constant 3D gravity and Liouville field theory (LFT). We develop an interpretation of LFT non-normalizable states in terms of particles moving in the bulk.…

We consider a generalization of the two-dimensional Liouville conformal field theory to any number of even dimensions. The theories consist of a log-correlated scalar field with a background $\mathcal{Q}$-curvature charge and an exponential…
The Unification of Conformal and Fuzzy gravities with Internal Interactions is based on the following two facts. The first is that the tangent group of a curved manifold and the manifold itself do not necessarily have the same dimensions.…
It was shown recently that, beside the traditional Liouville action, other functionals appear in the gravitational action of two-dimensional quantum gravity in the conformal gauge, the most important one being the Mabuchi functional. In a…
Non-relativistic ABJM theory is defined by Galilean limit of mass-deformed N=6 Chern-Simons theory. Holographic string theory dual to the theory is not known yet. To understand features candidate gravity dual might exhibit, we examine local…
Within a Liouville approach to non-critical string theory, we argue for a non-trivial commutation relation between space and time observables, leading to a non-zero space-time uncertainty relation $\delta x \delta t > 0$, which vanishes in…
In the two-dimensional Liouville conformal field theory, correlation functions involving a degenerate field satisfy partial differential equations due to the decoupling of the null descendant field. On the other hand, the instanton…
