Quantum gravity from timelike Liouville theory
From MaRDI portal
Publication:2283558
Abstract: 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 propose a definition of two-dimensional Liouville quantum gravity with cosmological constant using conformal bootstrap for the timelike Liouville theory coupled to supercritical matter. We prove a no-ghost theorem for the states in the BRST cohomology. We show that the four-point function constructed by gluing the timelike Liouville three-point functions is well defined and crossing symmetric (numerically) for external Liouville energies corresponding to extit{all} physical states in the BRST cohomology with the choice of the Ribault-Santachiara contour for the internal energy.
