We construct a conformal welding of two Liouville quantum gravity random surfaces and show that the interface between them is a random fractal curve called the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE), thereby resolving a variant of a conjecture of Peter Jones. We also demonstrate some surprising symmetries of this construction, which are consistent with the belief that (path decorated) random planar maps have (SLE-decorated) Liouville quantum gravity as a scaling limit. We present several precise conjectures and open questions.

    math.PR 2025-06 conditional novelty 9.0 of 10

    A random walk that reflects off the boundary at infinity yields new algorithmic constructions of the free uniform spanning forest and a conjectural embedding framework for supercritical Liouville quantum gravity.

  2. Random surfaces and Liouville quantum gravity

    math.PR 2019-08 unverdicted

    An expository overview of the definition of Liouville quantum gravity surfaces, the three senses in which random planar maps converge to them, and the major open problems.
