We study the Euclidean path integral of two-dimensional quantum gravity with positive cosmological constant coupled to conformal matter with large and positive central charge. The problem is considered in a semiclassical expansion about a round two-sphere saddle. We work in the Weyl gauge whereby the computation reduces to that for a (timelike) Liouville theory. We present results up to two-loops, including a discussion of contributions stemming from the gauge fixing procedure. We exhibit cancelations of ultraviolet divergences and provide a path integral computation of the central charge for timelike Liouville theory. Combining our analysis with insights from the DOZZ formula we are led to a proposal for an all orders result for the two-dimensional gravitational partition function on the two-sphere.

On the Virasoro Crossing Kernels at Rational Central Charge
At rational central charge, the Virasoro crossing kernels decompose into two admissible square-root-branched kernels; the physical c≤1 kernels are derived for the first time.

Toward the Structure Constants of $\mathcal{N}=2$ Liouville Theory
N=2 Liouville structure constants are proposed via mirror symmetry to the SL(2)_k/U(1) supercoset, with angular-momentum-violating sectors given explicitly and tested semiclassically to leading loop order.

de Sitter Vacua & pUniverses
The p-Schwinger model on de Sitter space supports p distinct de Sitter-invariant vacua that are Hadamard, and coupling a multi-flavor version to gravity yields a semiclassical de Sitter saddle at large N_f.

A microscopic realization of dS$_3$
Pure dS3 quantum gravity is claimed to be dual to the complex Liouville string's matrix integral, with integrated cosmological correlators equal to resolvent correlators and de Sitter entropy equal to 2 log of the eig...

Holographic entanglement entropy with conformal boundary conditions
In AdS3 with conformal boundary conditions, holographic entanglement entropy is still the minimal-surface area over 4G_N, and the dual Liouville plus T Tbar theory gives entropy governed by the effective central charge c_eff.

Revealing the conformal symmetry of the discrete series scalars in dS${}_2$
Massive discrete-series scalars in dS2 admit an on-shell global conformal symmetry realized non-locally on the scalar and locally on a conformal Killing tensor, with a traceless stress tensor generating SL(2,R)×SL(2,R).

Higher-genus corrections to the 2D de Sitter disk path integral follow a universal structure that at large boundary length mimics topological gravity, with new explicit expressions through genus six.

Quantum Liouville Cosmology
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.
