Motivated by problems arising in the study of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories we introduce and study irregular singularities in two-dimensional conformal field theory, here Liouville theory. Irregular singularities are associated to…

Based on a recent paper by Takhtajan, we propose a formulation of 2D quantum gravity whose basic object is the Liouville action on the Riemann sphere $\Sigma_{0,m+n}$ with both parabolic and elliptic points. The identification of the…
The aim of this note is to propose an interpretation for the full (non-chiral) correlation functions of the Liouville conformal field theory within the context of the quantization of spaces of Riemann surfaces.
We construct positive-genus analogues of Welschinger's invariants for many real symplectic manifolds, including the odd-dimensional projective spaces and the renowned quintic threefold. In some cases, our invariants provide lower bounds for…
Using symmetry considerations, we derive Ward identities which relate the three point function of scalar perturbations produced during inflation to the scalar four point function, in a particular limit. The derivation assumes approximate…
We first give an exposition of how the Polyakov path integral for the bosonic string produces a natural mapping class group invariant measure, $d(Poly)$, on the Teichm\"uller space of Riemann surfaces of each fixed genus. The description of…
We study harmonic functions on general weighted graphs which allow for a compatible intrinsic metric. We prove an $L^{p}$ Liouville type theorem which is a quantitative integral $L^{p}$ estimate of harmonic functions analogous to Karp's…
We derive the general Ward identities for scale and special conformal transformations in theories of single field inflation. Our analysis is model independent and based on symmetry considerations alone. The identities we obtain are valid to…
We show that the generating function for the higher Weil-Petersson volumes of the moduli spaces of stable curves with marked points can be obtained from Witten's free energy by a change of variables given by Schur polynomials. Since this…
