Random surfaces and Liouville quantum gravity

E Gwynne - Notices of the American Mathematical Society, 2020 - ams.org
What is the most natural way of choosing a random surface (two-dimensional Riemannian
manifold)? If we are given a finite set 𝑋, the easiest way to choose a random element of 𝑋 is …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Convergence of uniform triangulations under the Cardy embedding

N Holden, X Sun - arxiv preprint arxiv:1905.13207, 2019 - arxiv.org
We consider an embedding of planar maps into an equilateral triangle $\Delta $ which we
call the Cardy embedding. The embedding is a discrete approximation of a conformal map …

The fractal dimension of Liouville quantum gravity: universality, monotonicity, and bounds

J Ding, E Gwynne - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2020 - Springer
We prove that for each γ ∈ (0, 2) γ∈(0, 2), there is an exponent d_ γ> 2 d γ> 2, the “fractal
dimension of γ γ-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG)”, which describes the ball volume growth …

Weak LQG metrics and Liouville first passage percolation

J Dubédat, H Falconet, E Gwynne, J Pfeffer… - Probability Theory and …, 2020 - Springer
Abstract For γ ∈ (0, 2) γ∈(0, 2), we define a weak γ γ-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) metric
to be a function h ↦ D_h h↦ D h which takes in an instance of the planar Gaussian free field …

Integrability of the conformal loop ensemble

M Ang, X Sun - arxiv preprint arxiv:2107.01788, 2021 - arxiv.org
We demonstrate that the conformal loop ensemble (CLE) has a rich integrable structure by
establishing exact formulas for two CLE observables. The first describes the joint moments …

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 …

KPZ formulas for the Liouville quantum gravity metric

E Gwynne, J Pfeffer - Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 2022 - ams.org
Let $\gamma\in (0, 2) $, let $ h $ be the planar Gaussian free field, and let $ D_h $ be the
associated $\gamma $-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) metric. We prove that for any …
