Existence and uniqueness of the Liouville quantum gravity metric for

E Gwynne, J Miller - Inventiones mathematicae, 2021 - Springer
We show that for each γ ∈ (0, 2) γ∈(0, 2), there is a unique metric (ie, distance function)
associated with γ γ-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG). More precisely, we show that for the …

Introduction to the Liouville quantum gravity metric

J Ding, J Dubedat, E Gwynne - Proceedings of the ICM, 2022 - ems.press
Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) is a one-parameter family of models of random fractal
surfaces which first appeared in the physics literature in the 1980s. Recent works have …

Martingales in self-similar growth-fragmentations and their connections with random planar maps

J Bertoin, T Budd, N Curien, I Kortchemski - Probability Theory and …, 2018 - Springer
The purpose of the present work is twofold. First, we develop the theory of general self-
similar growth-fragmentation processes by focusing on martingales which appear naturally …

The 27 geodesic networks in the directed landscape

D Dauvergne - arXiv preprint arXiv:2302.07802, 2023 - arxiv.org
The directed landscape is a random directed metric on the plane that arises as the scaling
limit of classical metric models in the KPZ universality class. Typical pairs of points in the …

Duality in the directed landscape and its applications to fractal geometry

M Bhatia - International Mathematics Research Notices, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Geodesic coalescence, or the tendency of geodesics to merge together, is a hallmark
phenomenon observed in a variety of planar random geometries involving a random …

What is a random surface?

S Sheffield - Plenary LectureS, 2022 - ems.press
Given 2n unit equilateral triangles, there are finitely many ways to glue each edge to a
partner. We obtain a random sphere-homeomorphic surface by sampling uniformly from the …

Fix an arbitrary compact orientable surface with a boundary and consider a uniform bipartite
random quadrangulation of this surface with $ n $ faces and boundary component lengths of …

Lessons from the mathematics of two-dimensional Euclidean quantum gravity

T Budd - Handbook of Quantum Gravity, 2023 - Springer
The search for a mathematical foundation for the path integral of Euclidean quantum gravity

Geodesics and metric ball boundaries in Liouville quantum gravity

E Gwynne, J Pfeffer, S Sheffield - Probability Theory and Related Fields, 2022 - Springer
Recent works have shown that there is a canonical way to to assign a metric (distance
function) to a Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surface for any parameter γ∈(0, 2). We …

Regularity and confluence of geodesics for the supercritical Liouville quantum gravity metric

J Ding, E Gwynne - arXiv preprint arXiv:2104.06502, 2021 - arxiv.org
Let $ h $ be the planar Gaussian free field and let $ D_h $ be a supercritical Liouville
quantum gravity (LQG) metric associated with $ h $. Such metrics arise as subsequential …
