Recent developments in the study of conformal geometry in dimension higher than two has naturally led to a generalisation of Polyakov formalism to a higher-dimensional context. In this document we wish to provide a rigorous construction of Liouville Conformal Field Theory on the even-dimensional sphere, at both the classical and the quantum level; the properties of the objects thus defined are in agreement with the ones expected in the physics literature.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-19T14:29:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60D05", "81T20", "81T40" ], "keywords": [ "liouville conformal field theory", "higher-dimensional sphere", "two-dimensional liouville quantum field theory", "seminal work" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
