abstract

We study both bosonic and supersymmetric (p,q) minimal models coupled to Liouville theory using the ground ring and the various branes of the theory. From the FZZT brane partition function, there emerges a unified, geometric description of all these theories in terms of an auxiliary Riemann surface M_{p,q} and the corresponding matrix model. In terms of this geometric description, both the FZZT and ZZ branes correspond to line integrals of a certain one-form on M_{p,q}. Moreover, we argue that there are a finite number of distinct (m,n) ZZ branes, and we show that these ZZ branes are located at the singularities of M_{p,q}. Finally, we discuss the possibility that the bosonic and supersymmetric theories with (p,q) odd and relatively prime are identical, as is suggested by the unified treatment of these models.

The Super Virasoro Minimal String from 3d Supergravity

hep-th · 2026-04-28 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

The super Virasoro minimal string arises from quantizing 3d supergravity, with 0A+ and 0B+ dual to the bosonic minimal string matrix integral, 0B- to one with inverse square root singularity, and 0A- having vanishing non-trivial perturbative amplitudes.

Quantum Liouville Cosmology

hep-th · 2025-12-17 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Timelike Liouville disk path integrals in fixed K-representation produce Hartle-Hawking-like states, a conjecture for all-loop wavefunctions, and a K-independent inner product for 2D quantum cosmology.

All the D-Branes of Resurgence

hep-th · 2023-01-12 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Negative-tension ZZ-branes are required by resurgence to build complete transseries for minimal-string free energies, with analytic Stokes data and extensions to JT gravity and other string models.
