We develop a perturbative expansion of quantum Liouville theory on the pseudosphere around the background generated by heavy charges. Explicit results are presented for the one and two point functions corresponding to the summation of…
The model of Lorentzian three-dimensional dynamical triangulations provides a non-perturbative definition of three-dimensional quantum gravity. The theory has two phases: a weak-coupling phase with quantum fluctuations around a…
Our purpose is to pursue the rigorous construction of Liouville Quantum Field Theory on Riemann surfaces initiated by F. David, A. Kupiainen and the last two authors in the context of the Riemann sphere and inspired by the 1981 seminal work…
In this paper we investigate the relation between conformal blocks of Liouville CFT and the topological string partition functions of the rank one trinion theory $T_2$. The partition functions exhibit jumps when passing from one chamber in…
These are notes of a seminar given at the 30th International Symposium on the Theory of Elementary Particles, Berlin-Buckow, August 1996. The material is derived from collaborations with E. Cremmer and J.-L. Gervais, and C. Klimcik, and is…
After short historical overview we describe the difficulties with application of standard QFT methods in quantum gravity (QG). The incompatibility of QG with the use of classical continuous space-time required conceptually new approach. We…
In this paper, we will make an attempt to clarify the relation between three-dimensional euclidean loop quantum gravity with vanishing cosmological constant and quantum field theory in the continuum. We will argue, in particular, that in…
We study quantum imaging in a triangular quantum corral that is embedded in a superconducting host system with s-wave symmetry. We show that the corral acts as a quantum copying machine by creating multiple images of a quantum candle. We…
The search for scale-invariant random geometries is central to the Asymptotic Safety hypothesis for the Euclidean path integral in quantum gravity. In an attempt to uncover new universality classes of scale-invariant random geometries that…
There are two classes of quantum integrable systems on a manifold with quadratic integrals, the Liouville and the Lie integrable systems as it happens in the classical case. The quantum Liouville quadratic integrable systems are defined on…
We show that the consequences of a recent paper on quantum gravity are 1) a duality between point particles and massive scalar propagators, 2) the recovery of the entropy of a boundary (a black hole) in the same form as that of the EFT…
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…
This work interprets the quantum terms in a Lagrangian, and consequently of the wave equation and momentum tensor, in terms of a modified spacetime metric. Part I interprets the quantum terms in the Lagrangian of a Klein Gordon field as…
The aim of the causal dynamical triangulations approach is to define nonperturbatively a quantum theory of gravity as the continuum limit of a lattice-regularized model of dynamical geometry. My aim in this paper is to give a concise yet…
Motivated by problems arising in the study of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories we introduce and study irregular singularities in two-dimensional conformal field theory, here Liouville theory. Irregular singularities are associated to…
The conformal symmetry in the Liouville theory is analysed by using the Hamiltonian light--front formalism. The boundary conditions of dynamical variables are seen to involve an arbitrary function of time, so that the standard methods for…
To each local field (including the real or complex numbers) we associate a quantum dilogarithm and show that it satisfies a pentagon identity and some symmetries. Using an angled version of these quantum dilogarithms, we construct three…
Transport properties of an interacting triple quantum dot system coupled to three leads in a triangular geometry has been studied in the Kondo regime. Applying mean-field finite-U slave boson and embedded cluster approximations to the…
The theory of the 2-dimensional Liouville Quantum Gravity, first introduced by Polyakov in his 1981 work has become a key notion in the study of random surfaces. In a series of articles, David, Huang, Kupiainen, Rhodes and Vargas, on the…
Liouville Quantum Field Theory can be seen as a probabilistic theory of 2d Riemannian metrics $e^{\phi(z)}dz^2$, conjecturally describing scaling limits of discrete $2d$-random surfaces. The law of the random field $\phi$ in LQFT depends on…
