Two-pointed quantum disks with a weight parameter $W > 0$ are a family of finite-area random surfaces that arise naturally in Liouville quantum gravity. In this paper we show that conformally welding two quantum disks according to their…
SLE curves describe the scaling limit of interfaces from many 2D lattice models. Heuristically speaking, the SLE partition function is the continuum counterpart of the partition function of the corresponding discrete model. It is well known…
The seminal work of Sheffield showed that when random surfaces called Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) are conformally welded, the resulting interface is Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE). This has been proved for a variety of configurations,…
We give a simple set of geometric conditions on curves $\eta$, $\tilde{\eta}$ in ${\mathbf H}$ from $0$ to $\infty$ so that if $\varphi \colon {\mathbf H} \to {\mathbf H}$ is a homeomorphism which is conformal off $\eta$ with $\varphi(\eta)…

We prove that the SLE$_\kappa$ loop measure arises naturally from the conformal welding of two $\gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) disks for $\gamma^2 = \kappa \in (0,4)$. The proof relies on our companion work on conformal welding of…

We demonstrate how to obtain integrable results for the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) from Liouville conformal field theory (LCFT) and the mating-of-trees framework for Liouville quantum gravity (LQG). In particular, we prove an exact…
We showed that the SLE bubble measure recently constructed by Zhan arises naturally from the conformal welding of two Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) disks. The proof relies on (1) a "quantum version" of the limiting construction of the SLE…
We define a three-parameter family of random surfaces in Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) which can be viewed as the quantum version of triangles. These quantum triangles are natural in two senses. First, by our definition they produce the…
As recently shown by Holden and two of the authors, the conformal welding of two Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) disks produces a canonical variant of SLE curve whose law is called the SLE loop measure. In this paper, we demonstrate how LQG…
We show that when one draws a simple conformal loop ensemble (CLE$_\kappa$ for $\kappa \in (8/3,4)$) on an independent $\sqrt{\kappa}$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surface and explores the CLE in a natural Markovian way, the quantum…
A quantum surface (QS) is an equivalence class of pairs $(D,H)$ of simply connected domains $D\subsetneq\mathbb{C}$ and random distributions $H$ on $D$ induced by the conformal equivalence for random metric spaces. This distribution-valued…
Liouville Conformal Field Theory (LCFT) on the disk describes the conformal factor of the quantum disk, which is the natural random surface in Liouville quantum gravity with disk topology. Fateev, Zamolodchikov and Zamolodchikov (2000)…
We study the structure of the Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surfaces that are cut out as one explores a conformal loop-ensemble CLE$_{\kappa'}$ for $\kappa'$ in $(4,8)$ that is drawn on an independent $\gamma$-LQG surface for…
We develop a theory for the multiple radial $\mathrm{SLE}(\kappa)$ systems with parameter $\kappa > 0$ -- a family of random multi-curve systems in a simply connected domain $\Omega$, with marked boundary points $z_1, \ldots, z_n \in…
We consider the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE$_\kappa$) with $\kappa=4$, the critical value of $\kappa > 0$ at or below which SLE$_\kappa$ is a simple curve and above which it is self-intersecting. We show that the range of an SLE$_4$…
There is a simple way to "glue together" a coupled pair of continuum random trees (CRTs) to produce a topological sphere. The sphere comes equipped with a measure and a space-filling curve (which describes the "interface" between the…
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…
