These hypotheses are in particular satisfied by the LQG metric for $\\gamma=\\sqrt{8/3}$, which is isometric to a Brownian surface, constructed by the first author and Sheffield. As a consequence of our analysis, we also establish certain regularity properties of LQG geodesics which imply, among other things, that they are conformally removable.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-12-10T16:45:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "liouville quantum gravity", "schramm-loewner evolutions", "natural hypotheses", "lqg geodesics", "lqg metric" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
