Liouville quantum gravity as a mating of trees

B Duplantier, J Miller, S Sheffield - arxiv preprint arxiv:1409.7055, 2014 - arxiv.org
There is a simple way to" glue together" a coupled pair of continuum random trees (CRTs) to
produce a topological sphere. The sphere comes equipped with a measure and a space …

Liouville quantum gravity and the Brownian map I: the metric

J Miller, S Sheffield - Inventiones mathematicae, 2020 - Springer
Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) and the Brownian map (TBM) are two distinct models of
measure-endowed random surfaces. LQG is defined in terms of a real parameter γ γ, and it …

Conformal weldings of random surfaces: SLE and the quantum gravity zipper

S Sheffield - 2016 - projecteuclid.org
We construct a conformal welding of two Liouville quantum gravity random surfaces and
show that the interface between them is a random fractal curve called the Schramm …

Mating of trees for random planar maps and Liouville quantum gravity: a survey

E Gwynne, N Holden, X Sun - arxiv preprint arxiv:1910.04713, 2019 - arxiv.org
We survey the theory and applications of mating-of-trees bijections for random planar maps
and their continuum analog: the mating-of-trees theorem of Duplantier, Miller, and Sheffield …

Liouville quantum gravity and the Brownian map I: The QLE (8/3, 0) metric

J Miller, S Sheffield - arxiv preprint arxiv:1507.00719, 2015 - arxiv.org
Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) and the Brownian map (TBM) are two distinct models of
measure-endowed random surfaces. LQG is defined in terms of a real parameter $\gamma …

Quantum gravity and inventory accumulation

S Sheffield - 2016 - projecteuclid.org
We begin by studying inventory accumulation at a LIFO (last-in-first-out) retailer with two
products. In the simplest version, the following occur with equal probability at each time step …

Gaussian free field and Liouville quantum gravity

N Berestycki, E Powell - arxiv preprint arxiv:2404.16642, 2024 - arxiv.org
Over fourty years ago, the physicist Polyakov proposed a bold framework for string theory, in
which the problem was reduced to the study of certain" random surfaces". He further made …

Bipolar orientations on planar maps and

R Kenyon, J Miller, S Sheffield, DB Wilson - 2019 - projecteuclid.org
We give bijections between bipolar-oriented (acyclic with unique source and sink) planar
maps and certain random walks, which show that the uniformly random bipolar-oriented …

Scaling limit of the uniform infinite half-plane quadrangulation in the Gromov-Hausdorff-Prokhorov-uniform topology

E Gwynne, J Miller - 2017 - projecteuclid.org
We prove that the uniform infinite half-plane quadrangulation (UIHPQ), with either general or
simple boundary, equipped with its graph distance, its natural area measure, and the curve …

CLE percolations

J Miller, S Sheffield, W Werner - Forum of Mathematics, Pi, 2017 - cambridge.org
Conformal loop ensembles (CLEs) are random collections of loops in a simply connected
domain, whose laws are characterized by a natural conformal invariance property. The set of …
