The Hausdorff Dimension of Two-Dimensional Quantum Gravity

Bertrand Duplantier

Abstract: We argue that the Hausdorff dimension of a quantum gravity random surface is always DH = 4, irrespective of the conformal central charge c, −2 ≤ c ≤ 1, of a critical statistical model possibly borne by it. The Knizhnik-Polyakov-Zamolodchikov (KPZ) relation allows us to determine DH from the exact Hausdorff dimension of random maps with large faces, recently rigorously studied by Le Gall and Miermont, and reformulated by Borot, Bouttier and Guitter as a loop model on a random quadrangulation. This contradicts s… Show more

“…An entry • indicates that the exponent is unknown. At the time of writing, there is no consensus about the value of the Hausdorff dimension d H in the physics literature, although a so called Watabiki formula has been proposed (see e.g., [24,41,2,3] and references therein) and critically analysed in view of recent mathematical results [37,70]. All other exponents can be derived rigorously in the O(n) model on triangulations, as well as the model with bending energy, and are expected to be universal.…”

“…While this last question seems at present to be out of reach, its answer is expected to be related to the value of the almost sure Hausdorff dimension of large random maps with an O(n) model, a question which is under active debate (see, e.g., Refs. [2,3,37,41,70]).…”

“…Finite size analysis using the spin correlators seemed to favor d W h (c) although with somewhat large error bars, while the use of geometric quantity favored the d h = 4 hypothesis for c ≥ 0. Recently arguments have been given [15] in favor of d h = 4.…”

“…From this framework and the tools developed within, a wealth of implications on integrability and statistical mechanics followed and then led to the renown of matrix models [1]. The framework of random matrices still attracts a lot of attention in both physicist and mathematician communities [13][14][15][16][17][18].…”
