Abstract

The talk of Dr. Curtright dealt primarily with properties of the Liouville quantum field theory in two-dimensional spacetime. The material in the talk may be found in a series of papers by Dr. Curtright and his collaborators. Those papers are:

  • “Conformally Covariant Quantization of the Liouville Theory,” T. Curtright and C. Thorn, Phys. Rev. Lett. 48 (1982) 1309.

  • “Quantum Backlund Transformation for the Liouville Theory,” E. Braaten, T. Curtright, and C. Thorn, Phys. Lett. 118B (1982) 115.

  • “An Exact Operator Solution of the Quantum Liouville Field Theory,” E. Braaten, T. Curtright, and C. Thorn, Ann. Phys. (NY) 147 (1983) 365.

  • “A Class of Conformally Invariant Quantum Field Theories,” E. Braaten, T. Curtright, G. Ghandour, and C. Thorn, Phys. Lett. 125B (1983) 301.

  • “Nonperturbative Weak-coupling Analysis of the Liouville Quantum Field Theory,” E. Braaten, T. Curtright, G. Ghandour, and C. Thorn, Phys. Rev. Lett. 51 (1983) 19.

  • “Nonperturbative Weak-coupling Analysis of the Quantum Liouville Field Theory,” E. Braaten, T. Curtright, G. Ghandour, and C. Thorn, Ann. Phys. (NY) to appear (1984).
