We prove that a uniform infinite quadrangulation of the half-plane decorated by a self-avoiding walk (SAW) converges in the scaling limit to the metric gluing of two independent Brownian half-planes identified along their positive boundary…

In this paper, we study gravitational symmetry algebras that live on 2-dimensional cuts $S$ of asymptotic infinity. We define a notion of wedge algebra $\mathcal{W}(S)$ which depends on the topology of $S$. For the cylinder $S=\mathbb{C}^*$…

In a previous article, we define "connectivity weights" to be functions with these two properties: 1) They solve the three conformal Ward identities of conformal field theory (CFT) and a system of $2N$ null-state differential equations…

Let $Q$ be a free Boltzmann quadrangulation with simple boundary decorated by a critical ($p=3/4$) face percolation configuration. We prove that the chordal percolation exploration path on $Q$ between two marked boundary edges converges in…

Originating in theoretical physics, Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) has been an important topic in probability theory and mathematical physics in the past two decades. In this proceeding, we review two aspects of this topic. The first is…

We provide a detailed analysis of the disk path integral of timelike Liouville theory, conceived as a tractable and precise toy-model quantum cosmology in two dimensions. Disk path integrals with the insertion of matter field operators,…

We show that the unit area Liouville quantum gravity sphere can be constructed in two equivalent ways. The first, which was introduced by the authors and Duplantier, uses a Bessel excursion measure to produce a Gaussian free field variant…

The peanosphere construction of Duplantier, Miller, and Sheffield provides a means of representing a $\gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surface, $\gamma \in (0,2)$, decorated with a space-filling form of Schramm's SLE$_\kappa$,…

We study the commutation relation for 2-radial SLE in the unit disc starting from two boundary points. We follow the framework introduced by Dub\'{e}dat. Under an additional requirement of the interchangeability of the two curves, we…

A Sierpi\'nski packing in the $2$-sphere is a countable collection of disjoint, non-separating continua with diameters shrinking to zero. We show that any Sierpi\'nski packing by continua whose diameters are square-summable can be…

The conformal anomaly (also known as the stress-energy trace anomaly) of an interacting quantum theory, associated with violation of Weyl (conformal) symmetry by quantum effects, can be amended if one endows the theory with a dilatation…
