The $c=1$ string in the Liouville field theory approach is shown to possess a nontrivial tree-level $S$-matrix which satisfies factorization property implied by unitary, if all the extra massive physical states are included.

The continuation of the Liouville conformal field theory to c<=1 is considered. The viability of an interpretation involving a timelike boson which is the conformal factor for two-dimensional asymptotically de Sitter geometries is examined.…

We consider the S-matrix of c=1 Liouville theory with vanishing cosmological constant. We examine some of the constraints imposed by unitarity. These completely determine (N,2) amplitudes at tree level in terms of the (N,1) amplitudes when…

We are interested in the robustness of a Liouville type theorem for a reaction diffusion equation in exterior domains. Indeed H. Berestycki, F. Hamel and H. Matano (2009) proved such a result as soon as the domain satisfies some geometric…

The c<1 and c>1 matrix models are analyzed within large N renormalization group, taking into account touching (or branching) interactions. The c<1 modified matrix model with string exponent gamma>0 is naturally associated with an unstable…

We study the stability of topological structures in generalized models with a single real scalar field. We show that it is driven by a Sturm-Liouville equation and investigate the conditions that lead to the existence of explicit…

One of the most intriguing unsolved problems in modern cosmology involves the nature of the observed dark matter in the universe. Various hypothetical particles have been postulated as the source of the dark matter, but as of yet none of…

An interesting class of time dependent backgrounds in $1+1$ dimensional string theory involves worldsheet Liouville walls which move in (target space) time. When a parameter in such a background exceeds a certain critical value, the speed…

In perturbative string theory, one is generally interested in asymptotic observables, such as the S-matrix in flat spacetime, and boundary correlation functions in anti-de Sitter spacetime. However, there are backgrounds in which such…

An area-preserving map of the unit sphere, consisting of alternating twists and turns, is mostly chaotic. A Liouville density on that sphere is specified by means of its expansion into spherical harmonics. That expansion initially…

We consider how the principles of causality and equivalence restrict the background in which matter field theories are defined; those constraints develop in restrictions for these matter field theories: the simplest matter field theory…

We discuss possible instabilities in higher-derivative matter fields theories. These theories has two free parameters $\beta_1$ and $\beta_4$. By using dynamical system approach we explicitly demonstrate that for stability of Minkowski…

Models of cosmological scalar fields often feature "attractor solutions" to which the system evolves for a wide range of initial conditions. There is some tension between this well-known fact and another well-known fact: Liouville's theorem…

We show that N=1 supersymmetric Liouville theory can be continued to central charge c=3/2, and that the limiting non-rational superconformal field theory can also be obtained as a limit of supersymmetric minimal models. This generalises a…

The classical Liouville theorem states that a bounded harmonic function on all of $\RR^n$ must be constant. In the early 1970s, S.T. Yau vastly generalized this, showing that it holds for manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature.…

Effective field theories of two-dimensional lattice models of fluctuating loops are constructed by mapping them onto random surfaces whose large scale fluctuations are described by a Liouville field theory. This provides a geometrical view…

We point out that quantum field theories based on the concept of Clifford space and Clifford algebra valued-fields involve both positive and negative energies. This is a consequence of the indefinite signature (p,q) of the Clifford space.…

Liouville conformal field theory describes a random geometry that fluctuates around a deterministic one: the unique solution of the problem of finding, within a given conformal class, a Riemannian metric with prescribed scalar and geodesic…

A 'Liouville structure' is a structure isomorphic to a cotangent vector fibration. A Liouville structure is an essential ingredient of every variational formulation of a physical theory. For reasons of interpretation the Liouville structure…

Different group structures which underline the integrable systems are considered. In some cases, the quantization of the integrable system can be provided with substituting groups by their quantum counterparts. However, some other group…
