abstract
Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surfaces are a family of random fractal surfaces which can be thought of as the canonical models of random two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, in the same sense that Brownian motion is the canonical model of a random path. LQG surfaces are the continuum limits of discrete random surfaces called random planar maps. In this expository article, we discuss the definition of random planar maps and LQG, the sense in which random planar maps converge to LQG, and the motivations for studying these objects. We also mention several open problems. We do not assume any background knowledge beyond that of a second-year mathematics graduate student.
