Given any two vertices u, v of a random geometric graph, denote by d_E(u,v) their Euclidean distance and by d_G(u,v) their graph distance. The problem of finding upper bounds on d_G(u,v) in terms of d_E(u,v) has received a lot of attention…

Discrete Liouville first passage percolation (LFPP) with parameter $\xi > 0$ is the random metric on a sub-graph of $\mathbb Z^2$ obtained by assigning each vertex $z$ a weight of $e^{\xi h(z)}$, where $h$ is the discrete Gaussian free…
Given a graph $G$, let $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$ which lie in the same connected component, and let $\mathrm{diam}^+(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$; so…
Let $\gamma\in (0,2)$, let $h$ be the planar Gaussian free field, and let $D_h$ be the associated $\gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) metric. We prove that for any random Borel set $X \subset \mathbb{C}$ which is independent from $h$,…
We construct and analyze a continuum dynamical percolation process which evolves in a random environment given by a $\gamma$-Liouville measure. The homogeneous counterpart of this process describes the scaling limit of discrete dynamical…
We present a (mathematically rigorous) probabilistic and geometrical proof of the KPZ relation between scaling exponents in a Euclidean planar domain D and in Liouville quantum gravity. It uses the properly regularized quantum area measure…
Two-dimensional quantum gravity, defined either via scaling limits of random discrete surfaces or via Liouville quantum gravity, is known to possess a geometry that is genuinely fractal with a Hausdorff dimension equal to 4. Coupling…
Studies in string theory and quantum gravity suggest the existence of a finite lower limit $\Delta x_0$ to the possible resolution of distances, at the latest on the scale of the Planck length of $10^{-35}m$. Within the framework of the…
Liouville conformal field theory describes a random geometry that fluctuates around a deterministic one: the unique solution of the problem of finding, within a given conformal class, a Riemannian metric with prescribed scalar and geodesic…
This paper is concerned with computing the spectral dimension of 2d-Liouville quantum gravity. As a warm-up, we first treat the simple case of boundary Liouville quantum gravity. We prove that the spectral dimension is 1 via an exact…
Discrete and continuum Liouville first passage percolation (DLFPP, LFPP) are two approximations of the conjectural $\gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) metric, obtained by exponentiating the discrete Gaussian free field (GFF) and the…
In this work, we study the random metric for the critical long-range percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. A recent work by B\"aumler [3] implies the subsequential scaling limit, and our main contribution is to prove that the subsequential limit…
In this paper, we prove two Liouville-type theorems for capillary minimal graph over $\mathbb{R}^n_+$. First, if $u$ has linear growth, then for $n=2,3$ and for any $\theta\in(0,\pi)$, or $n\geq4$ and $\theta\in(\frac{\pi}6,\frac{5\pi}6)$,…

We endow the $\sqrt{8/3}$-Liouville quantum gravity sphere with a metric space structure and show that the resulting metric measure space agrees in law with the Brownian map. Recall that a Liouville quantum gravity sphere is a priori…
