The two-sphere partition function in two-dimensional quantum gravity

D Anninos, T Bautista, B Mühlmann - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We study the Euclidean path integral of two-dimensional quantum gravity with
positive cosmological constant coupled to conformal matter with large and positive central …

Quantum gravity from timelike Liouville theory

T Bautista, A Dabholkar, H Erbin - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
A bstract A proper definition of the path integral of quantum gravity has been a long-standing
puzzle because the Weyl factor of the Euclidean metric has a wrong-sign kinetic term. We …

2D quantum gravity partition function on the fluctuating sphere

G Giribet, M Leoni - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Motivated by recent works on the connection between 2D quantum gravity and
timelike Liouville theory, we revisit the latter and clarify some aspects of the computation of …

de Sitter Space as a Resonance

J Maltz, L Susskind - Physical Review Letters, 2017 - APS
A quantum mechanical formulation of de Sitter cosmological spacetimes still eludes string
theory. In this Letter we conjecture a potentially rigorous framework in which the status of de …

Roaming moduli space using dynamical triangulations

J Ambjørn, J Barkley, TG Budd - Nuclear Physics B, 2012 - Elsevier
In critical as well as in non-critical string theory the partition function reduces to an integral
over moduli space after integration over matter fields. For non-critical string theory this …

de Sitter harmonies: Cosmological spacetimes as resonances

J Maltz - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
The aim of this work is to provide the details of a calculation summarized in the recent paper
by Maltz and Susskind which conjectured a potentially rigorous framework where the status …

Semi-classical dynamical triangulations

J Ambjørn, TG Budd - Physics Letters B, 2012 - Elsevier
For non-critical string theory the partition function reduces to an integral over moduli space
after integrating over matter fields. The moduli integrand is known analytically for genus one …
