Given a compact connected Lie group $G$ with dual Coxeter number $\check h$ and a level $\kappa<-2\check h$, we introduce a probability measure $\nu_\kappa$ on the space of holomorphic $\mathfrak g_{\mathbb C}$-valued $(1,0)$-forms in…

We prove that on the Baire space $(D^{\kappa},\pi)$, $\kappa \geq \omega_0$ where $D$ is a uniformly discrete space having $\omega _1$-strongly compact cardinal and $\pi$ denotes the product uniformity on $D^\kappa$, there exists a…

We show how to connect together the loops of a simple Conformal Loop Ensemble (CLE) in order to construct samples of chordal SLE(\kappa) processes and their SLE(\kappa,\rho) variants, and we discuss some consequences of this construction.

This review is devoted to the analysis of the mutual consistency of the spin foam and canonical loop quantizations in three and four spacetime dimensions. In the three-dimensional context, where the two approaches are in good agreement, we…

We prove that the $SLE_\kappa$ trace in any simply connected domain $G$ is continuous (except possibly near its endpoints) if $\kappa<8$. We also prove an SLE analog of Makarov's Theorem about the support of harmonic measure.

We re-examine the process of loop quantization for flat isotropic models in cosmology. In particular, we contrast different inequivalent `loop quantizations' of these simple models through their respective successes and limitations and…

We show that when observing the range of a chordal SLE$_\kappa$ curve for $\kappa \in (4,8)$, it is not possible to recover the order in which the points have been visited. We also derive related results about conformal loop ensembles…

In this paper we study the problem of finding a conformal metric with the property that the k-th elementary symmetric polynomial of the eigenvalues of its Weyl-Schouten tensor is constant. A new conformal invariant involving maximal volumes…

A covariant spin-foam formulation of quantum gravity has been recently developed, characterized by a kinematics which appears to match well the one of canonical loop quantum gravity. In particular, the geometrical observable giving the area…

We conjecture the equality of the numerical and Kodaira dimensions $\nu_1^*(X)$ and $\kappa_1^*(X)$ for the cotangent bundle of compact K\"ahler manifolds $X$, generalising the classical case of the canonical bundle. We show or reduce it to…

We show that for each $\gamma \in (0,2)$, there is a unique metric (i.e., distance function) associated with $\gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG). More precisely, we show that for the whole-plane Gaussian free field (GFF) $h$, there is…

Over the past few decades, two natural random surface models have emerged within physics and mathematics. The first is Liouville quantum gravity, which has its roots in string theory and conformal field theory from the 1980s and 1990s. The…

We prove the existence and nontriviality of the $d$-dimensional 4 Minkowski content for the Schramm-Loewner evolution ($\mathrm {SLE}_{\kappa}$) with $\kappa<8$ and $d=1+\frac{\kappa}{8}$. We show that this is a multiple of the natural…

This article studies the volume of compact quotients of reductive homogeneous spaces. Let $G/H$ be a reductive homogeneous space and $\Gamma$ a discrete subgroup of $G$ acting properly discontinuously and cocompactly on $G/H$. We prove that…

In a paper of Ashtekar and Campiglia, residual diffeomorphisms have been used to single out the standard representation of the reduced holonomy-flux algebra in homogeneous loop quantum cosmology (LQC). We show that, in the homogeneous…

Whole-plane SLE$_\kappa$ is a random fractal curve between two points on the Riemann sphere. Zhan established for $\kappa \leq 4$ that whole-plane SLE$_\kappa$ is reversible, meaning invariant in law under conformal automorphisms swapping…

Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) and the Brownian map (TBM) are two distinct models of measure-endowed random surfaces. LQG is defined in terms of a real parameter $\gamma$, and it has long been believed that when $\gamma = \sqrt{8/3}$, the…

We show that for each ${\mathbf c}_{\mathrm M} \in [1,25)$, there is a unique metric associated with Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) with matter central charge ${\mathbf c}_{\mathrm M}$. An earlier series of works by…

Cummings, Foreman, and Magidor investigated the extent to which square principles are compact at singular cardinals. The first author proved that if $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit of uncountable cofinality, all scales on $\kappa$ are…

The logic $\mathcal L^1_\kappa$ was introduced by Shelah in [3]. In [4], he proved that for a strongly compact cardinal $\kappa$, it admits the following algebraic characterization: two structures are $\mathcal L^1_\kappa$-equivalent if and…
