abstract

We propose a duality between the complex Liouville string and a two-matrix integral. The complex Liouville string is defined by coupling two Liouville theories with complex central charges $c = 13 \pm i \lambda$ on the worldsheet. The matrix integral is characterized by its spectral curve which allows us to compute the perturbative string amplitudes recursively via topological recursion. This duality constitutes a controllable instance of holographic duality. The leverage on the theory is provided by the rich analytic structure of the string amplitudes that we discussed in arXiv:2409.18759 and allows us to perform numerous tests on the duality.

  1. Toward the Structure Constants of $\mathcal{N}=2$ Liouville Theory

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  2. The Runkel-Watts string

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Runkel-Watts string is a solvable family of two-dimensional string theories whose all-genus amplitudes are generated by SU(2) Yang-Mills TQFT data combined with VMS quantum volumes, and it has a dual matrix-integr...

  3. $x-y$ swap for $(2,2p+1)$ minimal string

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An x-y swapped spectral curve is conjectured to reproduce (2,2p+1) minimal string tachyon correlators without resonance transformations; verified at low genus, with a ground-ring extension that does not match HEM.
