Liouville theory without an action

چکیده
We show that the conformal bootstrap allows to solve the Liouville conformal field theory without any perturbative computation. In particular, the bootstrap provides the special structure constants that were previously computed perturbatively, up to rescalings of the vertex operators. We also show that there are constraints on the allowed normalization and rescalings of the vertex operators. [email protected], [email protected]

In this paper we consider a strong-weak coupling duality of the N = 2 super-Liouville field theory (SLFT). Without the self-duality found in other Liouville theories, the N = 2 SLFT, we claim, is associated with a ‘dual’ action by a transformation b → 1/b where b is the coupling constant. To justify our conjecture, we compute the reflection amplitudes (or two-point functions) of the (NS) and th...
متن کاملA Note on Quantum Liouville Theory via Quantum Group ——- An Approach to Strong Coupling Liouville Theory ——-
Quantum Liouville theory is annualized in terms of the infinite dimensional representations of Uqsl(2,C) with q a root of unity. Making full use of characteristic features of the representations, we show that vertex operators in this Liouville theory are factorized into classical vertex operators and those which are constructed from the finite dimensional representations of Uqsl(2,C). We furthe...
متن کاملGauge Theory Loop Operators and Liouville Theory
We propose a correspondence between loop operators in a family of four dimensional N = 2 gauge theories on S4 – including Wilson, ’t Hooft and dyonic operators – and Liouville theory loop operators on a Riemann surface. This extends the beautiful relation between the partition function of these N = 2 gauge theories and Liouville correlators found by Alday, Gaiotto and Tachikawa. We show that th...
متن کاملWeyl-invariant Quantization of Liouville Field Theory
Liouville field theory is quantized by means of a Wilsonian effective action and its associated exact renormalization group equation. For c < 1, an approximate solution of this equation is obtained by truncating the space of all action functionals. The Ward identities resulting from the Weyl invariance of the theory are used in order to select a specific universality class for the renormalizati...
متن کاملOne-Loop Vilkovisky-DeWitt Counterterms for 2D Gravity plus Scalar Field Theory
The divergent part of the one-loop off-shell effective action is computed for a single scalar field coupled to the Ricci curvature of 2D gravity (cφR), and self interacting by an arbitrary potential term V (φ). The Vilkovisky-DeWitt effective action is used to compute gauge-fixing independent results. In our background field/covariant gauge we find that the Liouville theory is finite on shell. ...
