Abstract: We construct a stochastic process, called the Liouville Brownian motion, which is the Brownian motion associated to the metric egammaX(z),dz2, gamma<gammac=2 and X is a Gaussian Free Field. Such a process is conjectured to be related to the scaling limit of random walks on large planar maps eventually weighted by a model of statistical physics which are embedded in the Euclidean plane or in the sphere in a conformal manner. The construction amounts to changing the speed of a standard two-dimensional Brownian motion Bt depending on the local behavior of the Liouville measure "Mgamma(dz)=egammaX(z),dz". We prove that the associated Markov process is a Feller diffusion for all gamma<gammac=2 and that for all gamma<gammac, the Liouville measure Mgamma is invariant under Pmathbft. This Liouville Brownian motion enables us to introduce a whole set of tools of stochastic analysis in Liouville quantum gravity, which will be hopefully useful in analyzing the geometry of Liouville quantum gravity.
