We discuss two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to conformal matter and fixed area in a semiclassical large and negative matter central charge limit. In this setup the gravity theory -- otherwise highly fluctuating -- admits a round two-sphere saddle. We discuss the two-sphere partition function up to two-loop order from the path integral perspective. This amounts to studying Feynman diagrams incorporating the fixed area constraint on the round two-sphere. In particular we find that all ultraviolet divergences cancel to this order. We compare our results with the two-sphere partition function obtained from the DOZZ formula.

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.

Aspects of Closed Matricial Worlds
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.
