We study quantum mechanics on a curved wire by approximating the physics around the curved region by three parameters coming from the boundary conditions given by the two interval Sturm-Liouville theory. Since the geometric potential on a…
We give a rigorous definition of sine dilaton gravity in terms of the worldsheet theory of the complex Liouville string arXiv:2409.17246. The latter has a known exact solution that we leverage to explore the gravitational path integral of…
Let $T$ be a circle group, and $LT$ be its loop group. We hope to establish an index theory for infinite-dimensional manifolds which $LT$ acts on, including Hamiltonian $LT$-spaces, from the viewpoint of $KK$-theory. We have already…

A Liouville classification of a natural Hamiltonian system on the projective plane with a rotation metric and a linear integral is obtained. All Fomenko--Zieschang invariants (i.e., labeled molecules) of the system are calculated.
We consider quantum general relativity in three dimensions with a positive cosmological constant. The Hartle-Hawking wave function is computed as a function of metric data at asymptotic future infinity. The analytic continuation from…
By considering the most general metric which can occur on a contractable two dimensional symplectic manifold, we find the most general Hamiltonians on a two dimensional phase space to which equivariant localization formulas for the…
We analyse the connections between the Wheeler DeWitt approach for two dimensional quantum gravity and holography, focusing mainly in the case of Liouville theory coupled to $c=1$ matter. Our motivation is to understand whether some form of…
The path-integral measure of linearized gravity around a saddle-point background with the cosmological term is considered in order to study the conformal rotation prescription proposed by Gibbons, Hawking and Perry. It is also argued that…
We solve the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in the 'cosmological interior' (the past causal diamond of future infinity) of four dimensional dS-Schwarzschild spacetimes. Within minisuperspace there is a basis of solutions labelled by a constant…
