In several fields of Physics, Chemistry and Ecology, some models are described by Liouville systems. In this article we first prove a uniqueness result for a Liouville system in $\mathbb R^2$. Then we establish an uniform estimate for…
The divergent part of the one-loop off-shell effective action is computed for a single scalar field coupled to the Ricci curvature of 2D gravity ($c \phi R$), and self interacting by an arbitrary potential term $V(\phi)$. The…
We consider two-dimensional Coulomb systems confined in a disk with ideal dielectric boundaries. In particular we study the two-component plasma in detail. When the coulombic coupling constant $\Gamma=2$ the model is exactly solvable. We…
It is shown that, by appropriately defining the eigenfunctions of a function defined on the extended phase space, the Liouville theorem on solutions of the Hamilton--Jacobi equation can be formulated as the problem of finding common…
The goal of this paper is to provide a refinement of a formula proved by the first author which expresses some critical values of automorphic $L$-functions on unitary groups as Petersson norms of automorphic forms. Here we provide a Galois…
Liouville field theory is considered with boundary conditions corresponding to a quantization of the classical Lobachevskiy plane (i.e. euclidean version of $AdS_2$). We solve the bootstrap equations for the out-vacuum wave function and…

Using canonical method the Liouville theory has been obtained as a gravitational Wess-Zumino action of the Polyakov string. From this approach it is clear that the form of the Liouville action is the consequence of the bosonic…
