Quantum Liouville Field Theory as Solution of a Flow Equation
read the original abstract
A general framework for the Weyl invariant quantization of Liouville field theory by means of an exact renormalization group equation is proposed. This flow equation describes the scale dependence of the effective average action which has a built-in infrared cutoff. For c<1 it is solved approximately by a truncation of the space of action functionals. We derive the Ward identities associated to Weyl transformations in presence of the infrared cutoff. They are used to select a specific universality class for the renormalization group trajectory which is found to connect two conformal field theories with central charges 25-c and 26-c, respectively.

Microscopic entropy of de Sitter spacetime and entropic solution to the old cosmological constant problem
Requiring the RG flow of the de Sitter entropy parameter α to increase monotonically toward the infrared yields a cosmological constant matching the observed value.
