We present a new holographic duality between q-Schwarzian quantum mechanics and Liouville gravity. The q-Schwarzian is a one parameter deformation of the Schwarzian, which is dual to JT gravity and describes the low energy sector of SYK. We…

Quantization of two-dimensional dilaton gravity coupled to conformal matter is investigated. Working in conformal gauge about a fixed background metric, the theory may be viewed as a sigma model whose target space is parameterized by the…

We construct a conformally invariant random family of closed curves in the plane by welding of random homeomorphisms of the unit circle. The homeomorphism is constructed using the exponential of $\beta X$ where $X$ is the restriction of the…

We study the volume of metric balls in Liouville quantum gravity (LQG). For $\gamma \in (0,2)$, it has been known since the early work of Kahane (1985) and Molchan (1996) that the LQG volume of Euclidean balls has finite moments exactly for…
