Liouville theory revisited
read the original abstract
We try to develop a coherent picture on Liouville theory as a two-dimensional conformal field theory that takes into account the perspectives of path-integral approach, bootstrap, canonical quantization and operator approach. To do this, we need to develop further some of these approaches. This includes in particular a construction of general exponential field operators from a set of covariant chiral operators. The latter are shown to satisfy braid relations that allow one to prove the locality of the former.

$c=1$ strings as a matrix integral
The c=1 string perturbative S-matrix equals a double-scaled (0+0)-dimensional matrix integral on the spectral curve x(z)=2√2 cos(z), y(z)=sin(z), establishing triality with worldsheet and matrix quantum mechanics desc...

A perturbative Liouville prescription for the celestial three-gluon amplitude
By fixing the Liouville-Mellin dictionary via conformal covariance and semiclassical consistency, the authors derive the leading and subleading b^2 terms of the celestial three-gluon amplitude from the DOZZ function, ...

Sine-Liouville gravity as a Vertex Model on Planar Graphs
The seven-vertex matrix model realizes sine-Liouville gravity through a shared classical spectral curve with matrix quantum mechanics but distinct branes, with dilute-dense flow analogous to a gravitational massless s...
