There is a simple way to "glue together" a coupled pair of continuum random trees (CRTs) to produce a topological sphere. The sphere comes equipped with a measure and a space-filling curve (which describes the "interface" between the…

Inspired by Polyakov's original formulation of quantum Liouville theory through functional integral, we analyze perturbation expansion around a classical solution. We show the validity of conformal Ward identities for puncture operators and…
The agenda of Dissipative Quantum Chaos is to create a toolbox which would allow us to categorize open quantum systems into "chaotic" and "regular" ones. Two approaches to this categorization have been proposed recently. One of them is…
