Moduli integrals in liouville gravity

Abstract

We consider moduli integrals appearing in four-point correlation functions of the (p, q) minimal models coupled to Liouville gravity on a sphere, which is sometimes called 2D minimal gravity or minimal string theory on a sphere. Liouville gravity on a sphere is the quantized metric of the spherical topology in the conformal gauge. Reviewing the previous results on such four-point functions (Y. Ishimoto and Sh. Yamaguchi: Phys. Lett. B607 (2005) 172), we show logarithmic correlation functions of ‘tachyons’ in the Liouville sector, and its moduli integrals of the full correlation functions, in particular in the Majorana fermion model coupled to 2D gravity. Further discussions and related results are given in the final section and in Y. Ishimoto and Al. Zamolodchikov: Theor. Math. Phys.147 (2006) 755.
