Abstract:

I will first review the recent derivation of the backbone exponent for 2D percolation via Liouville quantum gravity, based on the joint work with Nolin, Qian, and Zhuang. Then I will present a few further results obtained in this fashion, based on joint works with Ang, Liu, Xu, Yu, Zhang. It remains a challenge to understand these results using a more direct method without quantum gravity.
