Causal dynamical triangulations (CDT) can be used as a regularization of quantum gravity. In two dimensions the theory can be solved anlytically, even before the cut-off is removed and one can study in detail how to take the continuum…
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…
We propose that there exist generalized Seiberg-Witten equations in the Liouville conformal field theory, which allow the computation of correlation functions from the resolution of certain Ward identities. These identities involve a…
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…
This article is a review of functional $f(R)$ approximations in the asymptotic safety approach to quantum gravity. It mostly focusses on a formulation that uses a non-adaptive cutoff, resulting in a second order differential equation. This…
We construct the most general theory of 2D Einstein-dilaton gravity coupled with $U(1)$ gauge fields that contains all the 2-derivative and the 4-derivative interactions allowed by the diffeomorphism invariance. We renormalise the 2D action…
The Liouville action for two--dimensional quantum gravity coupled to interacting matter contains terms that have not been considered previously. They are crucial for understanding the renormalization group flow and can be observed in recent…
We study unitary minimal models coupled to Liouville gravity using Douglas string equation. Our approach is based on the assumption that there exist an appropriate solution of the Douglas string equation and some special choice of the…
We discuss some aspects of Liouville field theory, starting from operator equation of motion in presence of two screening charges and re-derive the dual zero mode Schwinger Dyson equations for the two screening charges from the path…
Liouville Conformal Field Theory (LCFT) is an essential building block of Polyakov's formulation of non critical string theory. Moreover, scaling limits of statistical mechanics models on planar maps are believed by physicists to be…
We construct a two-dimensional dual field theory induced at the boundary of three-dimensional Chern-Simons gravity invariant under the Maxwell algebra. The resulting action takes the form of a Maxwellian extension of the flat Liouville…
2D quantum gravity is the idea that a set of discretized surfaces (called map, a graph on a surface), equipped with a graph measure, converges in the large size limit (large number of faces) to a conformal field theory (CFT), and in the…
The first chapters introduce briefly conformal theories, Moore and Seiberg polynomial equations and Gervais-Neveu quantization of Liouville theory. The next chapters present the original results of this thesis. First, the algebra of the…
We prove a Liouville type classification theorem in half-spaces for infinite boundary value problems related to fully nonlinear, uniformly elliptic operators. We then apply the result in order to obtain gradient boundary blow up rates for…
The microscopic theories of quantum gravity related to integrable lattice models can be constructed as special deformations of pure gravity. Each such deformation is defined by a second order differential operator acting on the coupling…
We establish the Liouville theorem for positive constant $\sigma_{k}$-curvature equation in $\mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}$ and positive constant boundary $\mathcal{B}_{k}^{g}$ curvature equation, where the boundary curvature $\mathcal{B}_{k}^{g}$ is…
In any dimension $D$, the Euclidean Einstein-Hilbert action, which describes gravity in the absence of matter, can be discretized over random discrete spaces obtained by gluing families of polytopes together in all possible ways. In the…
A general framework for the Weyl invariant quantization of Liouville field theory by means of an exact renormalization group equation is proposed. This flow equation describes the scale dependence of the effective average action which has a…
Conformal blocks of Liouville theory have a Coulomb-gas representation as Dotsenko-Fateev (DF) integrals over the positions of screening charges. For q-deformed Liouville, the conformal blocks on a sphere with an arbitrary number of…
We propose that AdS$_3$ gravity with conformal boundary conditions is described by coupling the holographic CFT$_2$ to timelike Liouville theory and deforming by an exactly marginal operator. In this description, the Liouville field…
