Note on large-$p$ limit of $(2,2p+1)$ minimal Liouville gravity and moduli space volumes

Abstract

In this note we report on some properties of correlation numbers for 2-dimensional Liouville gravity coupled with $(2,2p+1)$ minimal model at large $p$. In the limit $p\to \infty$, for some explicitly known examples in a particular region of parameter space correlation numbers are shown to reduce to Weil-Petersson volumes, analytically continued to imaginary geodesic lengths. This marks another connection of this limit with JT-gravity. We also comment on supposed geometric meaning of the obtained answers outside of this region, in particular, the meaning of the minimal model fusion rules. Another observation is the proportionality of correlation number to the number of conformal blocks when $p$ is big enough compared to parameters of the correlator. This proportionality is valid even without taking the limit.
