It is shown that the models of 2D Liouville Gravity, 2D Black Hole- and $R^2$-Gravity are {\em embedded} in the Katanaev-Volovich model of 2D NonEinsteinian Gravity. Different approaches to the formulation of a quantum theory for the above…

The partition function corresponding to the "polytopic" action, a new action for the gravitational interaction which we have proposed recently, is computed in the simplest two-dimensional geometries of genus zero and one. The functional…

We explore the non-singlet sector of matrix quantum mechanics dual to $c=1$ Liouville theory. The non-singlets are obtained by adding $N_{f}\times N$ bi-fundamental fields in the gauged matrix quantum mechanics model as well as a one…

Physics considerations suggest that a theory of Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) should exist for all values of matter central charge $\mathbf{c} \in (-\infty,25)$. Probabilists have rigorously defined LQG as a random metric measure space…

We provide evidence that the KPZ exponents in two-dimensional quantum gravity can be interpreted as scaling exponents of correlation functions which are functions of the invariant geodesic distance between the fields.
