We study both bosonic and supersymmetric (p,q) minimal models coupled to Liouville theory using the ground ring and the various branes of the theory. From the FZZT brane partition function, there emerges a unified, geometric description of all these theories in terms of an auxiliary Riemann surface M_{p,q} and the corresponding matrix model. In terms of this geometric description, both the FZZT and ZZ branes correspond to line integrals of a certain one-form on M_{p,q}. Moreover, we argue that there are a finite number of distinct (m,n) ZZ branes, and we show that these ZZ branes are located at the singularities of M_{p,q}. Finally, we discuss the possibility that the bosonic and supersymmetric theories with (p,q) odd and relatively prime are identical, as is suggested by the unified treatment of these models.

  1. Ramp, Plateau, and Wormholes without Averaging, and Hyper-non-perturbative Structures in Gravity

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Smooth filter projection of erratic spectral data reproduces random-matrix ramp and plateau in a single chaotic system, and predicts double-exponential hyper-nonperturbative effects in holographic gravity.

  2. Instanton-Induced Closed-String Amplitudes in Minimal Superstring Theory at Subleading Order

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Explicit computation of instanton-induced amplitudes in minimal superstring theories at subleading order, after regulating open-string degenerations with string field theory, yields exact agreement with DDK-KPZ scaling.

  3. Quantum Liouville Cosmology

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Timelike Liouville disk path integrals in fixed K-representation produce Hartle-Hawking-like states, a conjecture for all-loop wavefunctions, and a K-independent inner product for 2D quantum cosmology.

  4. $x-y$ swap for $(2,2p+1)$ minimal string

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An x-y swapped spectral curve is conjectured to reproduce (2,2p+1) minimal string tachyon correlators without resonance transformations; verified at low genus, with a ground-ring extension that does not match HEM.

  5. Sine-dilaton gravity vs double-scaled SYK: exploring one-loop quantum corrections

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The one-loop gravitational path integral of sine-dilaton gravity reproduces the one-loop corrections of double-scaled SYK for the free energy (up to an ordering ambiguity) and exactly for the matter two-point function.

  6. All the D-Branes of Resurgence

    hep-th 2023-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Negative-tension ZZ-branes are required by resurgence to build complete transseries for minimal-string free energies, with analytic Stokes data and extensions to JT gravity and other string models.

  7. Multicritical Dynamical Triangulations and Topological Recursion

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Topological recursion solves Schwinger-Dyson equations for multicritical and causal dynamical triangulations in 2D quantum gravity, yielding explicit amplitudes.
