Two dimensional quantum R$^2$-gravity and its phase structure are examined in the semiclassical approach and compared with the results of the numerical simulation. Three phases are succinctly characterized by the effective action. A…
The symmetry algebra of $N=1$ Super-Liouville field theory in two dimensions is the infinite dimensional $N=1$ superconformal algebra, which allows one to prove, that correlation functions, containing degenerated fields obey some partial…
It was shown recently that, beside the traditional Liouville action, other functionals appear in the gravitational action of two-dimensional quantum gravity in the conformal gauge, the most important one being the Mabuchi functional. In a…
We show that Liouville gravity arises as the limit of pure Einstein gravity in 2+epsilon dimensions as epsilon goes to zero, provided Newton's constant scales with epsilon. Our procedure - spherical reduction, dualization, limit, dualizing…

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…
Timelike Liouville theory admits the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ as a real saddle point, about which quantum fluctuations can occur. An issue occurs when computing the expectation values of specific types of quantities, like the distance…
Recently, a proposal has appeared for the extraction of the 2-point function of linearised quantum gravity, within the spinfoam formalism. This relies on the use of a boundary state, which introduces a semi-classical flat geometry on the…
We model the back-reaction of a static observer in four-dimensional de Sitter spacetime by means of a singular $\mathbb Z_q$ quotient. The set of fixed points of the $\mathbb Z_q$ action consists of a pair of codimension two minimal…

We couple non-linear $\sigma$-models to Liouville gravity, showing that integrability properties of symmetric space models still hold for the matter sector. Using similar arguments for the fermionic counterpart, namely Gross--Neveu-type…
We observe that non-doubling metric spaces can be characterized as those that contain arbitrarily large sets of approximately equidistant points and use this to show that, for $\gamma \in (0,2]$, the $\gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity…
Initiated by Polyakov in his 1981 seminal work, the study of two-dimensional Liouville Conformal Field Theory has drawn considerable attention over the past decades. Recent progress in the understanding of conformal geometry in dimension…
Liouville conformal field theory is considered with conformal boundary. There is a family of conformal boundary conditions parameterized by the boundary cosmological constant, so that observables depend on the dimensional ratios of boundary…
