Gluing theory of Riemann surfaces and Liouville conformal field theory

We study the gluing theory of Riemann surfaces using formal algebraic geometry, and give computable relations between the associated parameters for different gluing processes. As its application to…

Quantisation of Super Teichmüller Theory

We construct a quantisation of the Teichmüller spaces of super Riemann surfaces using coordinates associated to ideal triangulations of super Riemann surfaces. A new feature is the non-trivial…

Confluent conformal blocks of the second kind

We construct confluent conformal blocks of the second kind of the Virasoro algebra. We also construct the Stokes transformations which map such blocks in one Stokes sector to another. In the BPZ…

Higher complex structures and higher Teichmüller theory

In this PhD thesis, we give a new geometric approach to higher Teichmuller theory. In particular we construct a geometric structure on surfaces, generalizing the complex structure, and we explore its…

A slow review of the AGT correspondence

Starting with a gentle approach to the AGT correspondence from its 6d origin, these notes provide a wide survey of the literature on numerous extensions of the correspondence. This is the writeup of…

Teichmüller TQFT vs. Chern-Simons theory

A bstractTeichmüller TQFT is a unitary 3d topological theory whose Hilbert spaces are spanned by Liouville conformal blocks. It is related but not identical to PSL(2, ℝ) Chern-Simons theory. To…

On the Relation between Quantized Teichmüller Spaces and the Free Field Quantization of Liouville Theory

We investigate how the quantum Teichmuller theory is encoded in the free field quantization of Liouville theory. We show that the 4-point conformal blocks of Liouville theory contain the eigenstates…

From Liouville theory to the quantum geometry of Riemann surfaces

The aim of this note is to propose an interpretation for the full (non-chiral) correlation functions of the Liouville conformal field theory within the context of the quantization of spaces of…

Quantization of the Hitchin moduli spaces, Liouville theory, and the geometric Langlands correspondence I
