Over fourty years ago, the physicist Polyakov proposed a bold framework for string theory, in which the problem was reduced to the study of certain "random surfaces". He further made the tantalising suggestion that this theory could be explicitly solved. Recent breakthroughs from the last fifteen years have not only given a concrete mathematical basis for this theory but also verified some of its most striking predictions, as well as Polyakov's original vision. This theory, now known in the mathematics literature either as Liouville quantum gravity or Liouville conformal field theory, is based on a remarkable combination of ideas coming from different fields, above all probability and geometry. This book is intended to be an introduction to these developments assuming as few prerequisites as possible.

  1. Sharp moment and upper tail asymptotics for the critical $2d$ Stochastic Heat Flow

    math.PR 2025-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    The h-th moment of the critical 2d Stochastic Heat Flow mass is at least exp(exp(c h)), matching a 1999 prediction and exponentially improving the known lower bound.

  2. Tail Profile of Bulk Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos Measures I: Bulk/Boundary Quotients

    math.PR 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The (p,q)-moment of the bulk/boundary quotient of Gaussian multiplicative chaos is finite whenever p is below min(2/γ²+q/2, 4/γ²), and blows up at the 4/γ² boundary.
