Abstract: In this paper, we construct the Brownian motion of Liouville Quantum Gravity with central charge $c=1$ (more precisely we restrict to the corresponding free field theory). Liouville quantum gravity with $c=1$ corresponds to two-dimensional string theory and is the conjectural scaling limit of large planar maps weighted with a $O(n=2)$ loop model or a $Q=4$-state Potts model embedded in a two dimensional surface in a conformal manner. Following cite{GRV1}, we start by constructing the critical LBM from one fixed point $xinmathbb{R}^2$ (or $xin{S}^2$), which amounts to changing the speed of a standard planar Brownian motion depending on the local behaviour of the critical Liouville measure $M^{\prime }(dx)=-X(x)e^{2X(x)},dx$ (where $X$ is a Gaussian Free Field, say on $mathbb{S}^2$). Extending this construction simultaneously to all points in $mathbb{R}^2$ requires a fine analysis of the potential properties of the measure $M^{\prime }$. This allows us to construct a strong Markov process with continuous sample paths living on the support of $M^{\prime }$, namely a dense set of Hausdorff dimension $0$. We finally construct the associated Liouville semigroup, resolvent, Green function, heat kernel and Dirichlet form. In passing, we extend to quite a general setting the construction of the critical Gaussian multiplicative chaos that was initiated in cite{Rnew7,Rnew12} and also establish new capacity estimates for the critical Gaussian multiplicative chaos.
