We prove a shape theorem for internal diffusion limited aggregation on mated-CRT maps, a family of random planar maps which approximate Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surfaces. The limit is an LQG harmonic ball, which we constructed in a…

Let $h$ be the planar Gaussian free field and let $D_h$ be a supercritical Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) metric associated with $h$. Such metrics arise as subsequential scaling limits of supercritical Liouville first passage percolation…

Recent works have shown that there is a canonical way to to assign a metric (distance function) to a Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surface for any parameter $\gamma \in (0,2)$. We establish a strong confluence property for LQG geodesics,…

For $\gamma \in (0,2)$, the quantum disk and $\gamma$-quantum wedge are two of the most natural types of Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surfaces with boundary. These surfaces arise as scaling limits of finite and infinite random planar…

Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surfaces are a family of random fractal surfaces which can be thought of as the canonical models of random two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, in the same sense that Brownian motion is the canonical model…

Let $\gamma \in (0,2)$ and let $h$ be the random distribution on $\mathbb C$ which describes a $\gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) cone. Also let $\kappa = 16/\gamma^2 >4$ and let $\eta$ be a whole-plane space-filling SLE$_\kappa$…

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…

We prove the following. If $f$ is a harmonic quasiconformal mapping between the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and a spatial domain with $C^{1,\alpha}$ boundary, then $f$ is Lipschitz continuous in $B$. This generalizes some known results for…

Physics considerations suggest that a theory of Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) should exist for all values of matter central charge $\mathbf{c} \in (-\infty,25)$. Probabilists have rigorously defined LQG as a random metric measure space…

We define a modification of LQG in which graphs are required to consist in piecewise linear edges, which we call piecewise linear LQG (plLQG). At the diffeomorphism invariant level, we prove that plLQG is equivalent to standard LQG, as long…

Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) is, heuristically, a theory of random Riemannian geometry with Riemannian metric tensor $e^{\gamma h} (\mathrm{d} x^2 + \mathrm{d} y^2)$, where $h$ is a variant of the Gaussian free field and $\gamma > 0$ is…

Using an rotation of Yuan, we observe that the gradient graph of any semiconvex function is a Liouville manifold, that is, does not admit bounded harmonic functions. As a corollary, we find that any entire solution of the fourth order…

A Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surface is a natural random two-dimensional surface, initially formulated as a random measure space and later as a random metric space. We show that the LQG measure can be recovered as the Minkowski measure…
