Quantum group symmetry of 2D gravity

II. Quantum Groups, Symmetries Of Dynamical Systems And Conformal Field Theory

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 1510)

Abstract

Current progresses in understanding quantum gravity from the operator viewpoint are reviewed. They are based on the U q (sl(2))-quantum-group structure recently put forward[1,2] for the chiral components of the metric in the conformal gauge.
