We give a general formula for gauge states at the discrete momenta in Liouville theory. These discrete gauge states carry the $w_\infty$ charges. As in the case of the 26D (or 10D) string theory, they are decoupled from the correlation…

General N=(1,1) dilaton supergravity in two dimensions allows a background independent exact quantization of the geometric part, if these theories are formulated as specific graded Poisson-sigma models. The strategy developed for the…
We study the quantum conformal gravity whose dynamics is governed by a single dimensionless gravitational coupling with negative beta function. Since the Euler term is not dynamical classically, the constant in front of it is not an…

The F and B matrices associated with Virasoro null vectors are derived in closed form by making use of the operator-approach suggested by the Liouville theory, where the quantum-group symmetry is explicit. It is found that the entries of…

In the kinetic theory of dense fluids the many-particle collision bracket integral is given in terms of a classical collision operator defined in the phase space. To find an algorithm to compute the collision bracket integrals, we revisit…
The cosmological constant problem is one of the long-standing issues of modern physics. While we can measure the value of the cosmological constant with great accuracy, we are not able to calculate it in a coherent theoretical framework. On…
We show that an exact solution of two-dimensional dilaton gravity with matter discovered previously exhibits an irreversible temporal flow towards flat space with a vanishing cosmological constant. This time flow is induced by the back…
We discuss the quantization of pure string--inspired dilaton--gravity in $(1+1)$--dimensions, and of the same theory coupled to scalar matter. We perform the quantization using the functional Schroedinger and BRST formalisms. We find, both…
