Abstract: Dorn and Otto (1994) and independently Zamolodchikov and Zamolodchikov (1996) proposed a remarkable explicit expression, the so-called DOZZ formula, for the 3 point structure constants of Liouville Conformal Field Theory (LCFT), which is expected to describe the scaling limit of large planar maps properly embedded into the Riemann sphere. In this paper we give a proof of the DOZZ formula based on a rigorous probabilistic construction of LCFT in terms of Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos given earlier by F. David and the authors. This result is a fundamental step in the path to prove integrability of LCFT, i.e. to mathematically justify the methods of Conformal Bootstrap used by physicists. From the purely probabilistic point of view, our proof constitutes the first rigorous integrability result on Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos measures.

Review text

The paper under review is written by experts in the area of Liouville quantum gravity, quantum fields theory, BPZ equations. The main purpose of authors is to prove the equivalence of the Dorn, Otto, Zamolodchikov and Zamolodchkov (DOZZ) formula from a statistical standpoint, namely from the standpoint of Liouville conformal field theory. To my opinion the authors successfully proved the formula.
