In this paper we introduce the stochastic Ricci flow (SRF) in two spatial dimensions. The flow is symmetric with respect to a measure induced by Liouville Conformal Field Theory. Using the theory of Dirichlet forms, we construct a weak solution to the associated equation of the area measure on a flat torus, in the full "$L^1$ regime" $\sigma< \sigma_{L^1}=2\sqrt\pi$ where $\sigma$ is the noise strength. We also describe the main necessary modifications needed for the SRF on general compact…

Stochastic quantization of Liouville conformal field theory
We study a nonlinear stochastic heat equation forced by a space-time white noise on closed surfaces, with nonlinearity $e^{\beta u}$. This equation corresponds to the stochastic quantization of the…
Metric growth dynamics in Liouville quantum gravity
We consider the metric growth in Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) for γ ∈ (0, 2). We show that a process associated with the trace of the free field on the boundary of a filled LQG ball is stationary,…

We study a class of elliptic SPDEs with additive Gaussian noise on $\mathbb{R}^2 \times M$, with $M$ a $d$-dimensional manifold equipped with a positive Radon measure, and a real-valued non linearity…
A probabilistic approach of Liouville field theory
In this article, we present the Liouville field theory, which was introduced in the eighties in physics by Polyakov as a model for fluctuating metrics in 2D quantum gravity, and outline recent…
Stochastic quantization associated with the $$\exp (\Phi )_2$$ exp ( Φ )
We consider a quantum field model with exponential interactions on the two-dimensional torus, which is called the $$\exp (\Phi )_{2}$$ exp ( Φ ) 2 -quantum field model or Høegh-Krohn’s model. In the…
A priori bounds for quasi-linear SPDEs in the full sub-critical regime
This paper is concerned with quasi-linear parabolic equations driven by an additive forcing ξ ∈ C, in the full subcritical regime α ∈ (0, 1). We are inspired by Hairer’s regularity structures,…

We establish the first connection between 2 d Liouville quantum gravity and natural dynamics of random matrices. In particular, we show that if ( U t ) is a Brownian motion on the unitary group at…
Mating of trees for random planar maps and Liouville quantum gravity: a survey
We survey the theory and applications of mating-of-trees bijections for random planar maps and their continuum analog: the mating-of-trees theorem of Duplantier, Miller, and Sheffield (2014). The…
