Liouville Theory Revisited

J. Teschner

Open publisher page 300 citations

Abstract

Liouville theory seems to be a kind of universal building block for a variety of models for twodimensional gravity and non-trivial backgrounds in string theory. Some aspects of it were important for understanding what the matrix models of 2D gravity actually describe (see e.g. [GM]), and it keeps popping up in sometimes unexpected circumstances such as the the physics of membranes in
