We study the celestial three-gluon amplitude in a dilaton background through the Mellin-Liouville formulation proposed by Stieberger, Taylor and Zhu (STZ). The original map contains an ambiguity in the identification of Liouville and Mellin…
The possibility of extending the Liouville Conformal Field Theory from values of the central charge $c \geq 25$ to $c \leq 1$ has been debated for many years in condensed matter physics as well as in string theory. It was only recently…
Liouville conformal field theory is a prototypical example of an exactly solvable quantum field theory, in the sense that the correlation functions in an arbitrary background can be determined exactly using only the constraints of unitarity…
We demonstrate how negative powers of screenings arise as a nonperturbative effect within the operator approach to Liouville theory. This explains the origin of the corresponding poles in the exact Liouville three point function proposed by…
We study semiclassical correlation functions in Liouville field theory on a two-sphere when all operators have large conformal dimensions. In the usual approach, such computation involves solving the classical Liouville equation, which is…
Correlation functions in Liouville theory are meromorphic functions of the Liouville momenta, as is shown explicitly by the DOZZ formula for the three-point function on the sphere. In a certain physical region, where a real classical…
The problem of the structure constants of the operator product expansions in the minimal models of conformal field theory is revisited. We rederive these previously known constants and present them in the form particularly useful in the…

Dorn and Otto (1994) and independently Zamolodchikov and Zamolodchikov (1996) proposed a remarkable explicit expression, the so-called DOZZ formula, for the 3 point structure constants of Liouville Conformal Field Theory (LCFT), which is…
Linear second order differential equations of the form $d^{2}w/dz^{2}-\left \{ {u^{2}f\left( u,z\right) +g\left( z\right) }\right\} w=0$ are studied, where $\left| u\right| \rightarrow \infty $ and $z$ lies in a complex bounded or unbounded…
The purpose of these notes, based on a series of 4 lectures given by the author at IHES, is to explain the recent proof of the DOZZ formula for the three point correlation functions of Liouville conformal field theory (LCFT). We first…
We show that all self-adjoint extensions of semi-bounded Sturm--Liouville operators with general limit-circle endpoint(s) can be obtained via an additive singular form bounded self-adjoint perturbation of rank equal to the deficiency…
We consider a generalization of the two-dimensional Liouville conformal field theory to any number of even dimensions. The theories consist of a log-correlated scalar field with a background $\mathcal{Q}$-curvature charge and an exponential…
The principal aim in this paper is to employ a recently developed unified approach to the computation of traces of resolvents and $\zeta$-functions to efficiently compute values of spectral $\zeta$-functions at positive integers associated…
Let $\dot A$ be a densely defined, closed, symmetric operator in the complex, separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ with equal deficiency indices and denote by $\mathcal{N}_i = \ker \big(\big(\dot A\big)^* - i I_{\mathcal{H}}\big)$, $\dim…
