Liouville Quantum Gravity on the complex tori

چکیده
In this paper, we construct Liouville Quantum Field Theory (LQFT) on the toroidal topology in the spirit of the 1981 seminal work by Polyakov. Our approach follows the construction carried out by the authors together with A. Kupiainen in the case of the Riemann sphere. The difference is here that the moduli space for complex tori is non trivial. Modular properties of LQFT are thus investigated. This allows us to sum up the LQFT on complex tori over the moduli space, to compute the law of the random Liouville modulus, therefore recovering (and extending) formulae obtained by physicists, and make conjectures about the relationship with random planar maps of genus one, eventually weighted by a conformal field theory and conformally embedded onto the torus.

A Cantor set of tori with monodromy near a focus-focus singularity
We write down an asymptotic expression for action coordinates in an integrable Hamiltonian system with a focus-focus equilibrium. From the singularity in the actions we deduce that the Arnol’d determinant grows infinitely large near the pinched torus. Moreover, we prove that it is possible to globally parametrise the Liouville tori by their frequencies. If one perturbs this integrable system, t...
متن کاملTowards a Strong Coupling Liouville Gravity
A possibility of strong coupling quantum Liouville gravity is investigated via infinite dimensional representations of Uqsl(2,C) with q at a root of unity. It is explicitly shown that vertex operator in this model can be written by a tensor product of a vertex operator of the classical Liouville theory and that of weak coupling quantum Liouville theory. Some discussions about the strong couplin...
متن کاملLiouville Quantum Gravity on the Riemann sphere
In this paper, we rigorously construct 2d Liouville Quantum Field Theory on the Riemann sphere introduced in the 1981 seminal work by Polyakov Quantum Geometry of bosonic strings. We also establish some of its fundamental properties like conformal covariance under PSL2(C)-action, Seiberg bounds, KPZ scaling laws, KPZ formula and the Weyl anomaly (Polyakov-Ray-Singer) formula for Liouville Quant...
متن کاملOn the Liouville Approach to Correlation Functions for 2-D Quantum Gravity
We evaluate the three point function for arbitrary states in bosonic minimal models on the sphere coupled to quantum gravity in two dimensions. The validity of the formal continuation in the number of Liouville screening charge insertions is shown directly from the Liouville functional integral using semi-classical methods. ⋆ Work supported in part by the National Science Foundation grant PHY–8...
متن کاملNonperturbative Model of Liouville Gravity
We obtain nonperturbative results in the framework of continuous Liouville theory. In particular, we express the specific heat Z of pure gravity in terms of an expansion of integrals on moduli spaces of punctured Riemann spheres. The integrands are written in terms of the Liouville action. We show that Z satisfies the Painlevé I. Partly supported by the European Community Research Programme Gau...
