Title: Nonperturbative weak-coupling analysis of the Liouville quantum field theory

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

A systematic weak-coupling expansion is developed for the Liouville quantum field theory on a periodic spatial interval. Matrix elements of various Liouville operators are computed to order g/sup 8/ by perturbation in nonzero modes about the exact solution of the zero-mode problem. To this order the results agree with the explicit operator solution given previously by Braaten, Curtright, and Thorn, in which the Liouville field was expressed in terms of a free pseudoscalar field by means of an operator Baaumlcklund transformation.
