Super Liouville theory on the torus: bootstrap and the super Virasoro minimal string
Scott Collier, Beatrix Mühlmann, Mukund Rangamani +2
Motivated by applications to low-dimensional worldsheet string constructions, we analyze super Liouville theory on the torus. Specifically, we re-examine the recu…
strings as a matrix integral
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Victor A. Rodriguez
We study the perturbative -matrix of the string and show that it admits a description in terms of a double-scaled (0+0)-dimensional matrix integral based on the spectral c…
A universal sum over topologies in 3d gravity
Alexandre Belin, Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt +2
We explore the sum over topologies in AdS quantum gravity and its relationship with the statistical interpretation of the boundary theory. We formulate a statistical version of…
A microscopic realization of dS
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Beatrix Mühlmann
We propose a precise duality between pure de Sitter quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions and a double-scaled matrix integral. This duality unfolds in two distinct aspects. First, by c…
The complex Liouville string: the gravitational path integral
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Beatrix Mühlmann
We give a rigorous definition of sine dilaton gravity in terms of the worldsheet theory of the complex Liouville string arXiv:2409.17246. The latter has a known exact solution that…
The complex Liouville string: worldsheet boundaries and non-perturbative effects
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Beatrix Mühlmann +1
We investigate general observables of the complex Liouville string with worldsheet boundaries. We develop a universal formalism that reduces such observables to ordinary closed str…
The complex Liouville string: the matrix integral
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Beatrix Mühlmann +1
We propose a duality between the complex Liouville string and a two-matrix integral. The complex Liouville string is defined by coupling two Liouville theories with complex central…
The complex Liouville string: the worldsheet
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Beatrix Mühlmann +1
We introduce a new two-dimensional string theory defined by coupling two copies of Liouville CFT with complex central charge on the worldsheet. This string theory def…
The complex Liouville string
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Beatrix Mühlmann +1
We introduce the complex Liouville string, a solvable string theory defined by coupling two Liouville theories with complex conjugate central charges on the…
Resurgence in Liouville Theory
Nathan Benjamin, Scott Collier, Alexander Maloney +1
Liouville conformal field theory is a prototypical example of an exactly solvable quantum field theory, in the sense that the correlation functions in an arbitrary background can b…
3d gravity from Virasoro TQFT: Holography, wormholes and knots
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Mengyang Zhang
We further develop the description of three-dimensional quantum gravity with negative cosmological constant in terms of Virasoro TQFT formulated in our previous paper arXiv:2304.13…
The Virasoro Minimal String
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Beatrix Mühlmann +1
We introduce a critical string theory in two dimensions and demonstrate that this theory, viewed as two-dimensional quantum gravity on the worldsheet, is equivalent to a double-sca…
