Liouville Quantum Sphere


A Liouville quantum sphere is a random quantum surface with spherical topology, represented by a field and its Liouville quantum gravity area measure modulo conformal changes of coordinate. The unit-area version has total quantum area 1. Three independent points sampled from the quantum-area measure can be used to fix conformal coordinates on the unmarked unit-area surface.
