Liouville’S Equation

Abstract We begin developing tools to compute off-shell string amplitudes with the recently proposed hyperbolic string vertices of Costello and Zwiebach. Exploiting the relation between a boundary value problem for Liouville’s equation and a monodromy problem for a Fuchsian equation, we construct the local coordinates around the punctures for the generalized hyperbolic three-string vertex and investigate their various limits. This vertex corresponds to the general pants diagram with three boundary geodesics of unequal lengths. We derive the conservation laws associated with such vertex and perform sample computations. We note the relevance of our construction to the calculations of the higher-order string vertices using the pants decomposition of hyperbolic Riemann surfaces.

Liouville’S Equation

The essentials of quantum mechanics are derived from Liouville's theorem in statistical mechanics. An elementary solution, g, of Liouville's equation helps to construct a differentiable N-particle distribution function (DF), F(g), satisfying the same equation. Reality and additivity of F(g): (i) quantize the time variable; (ii) quantize the energy variable; (iii) quantize the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution; (iv) make F(g) observable through time-elimination; (v) produce the Planck constant; (vi) yield the black-body radiation spectrum; (vii) support chronotopology introduced axiomatically; (viii) the Schrödinger and the Klein–Gordon equations follow. Hence, quantum theory appears as a corollary of Liouville's theorem. An unknown connection is found allowing the better understanding of space-times and of these theories.

Liouville’S Equation

This paper is concerned with a curious gap in a string of exactly solvable models, a gap that is suggestively related to a completely integrable nonlinear PDE in d=2 known as Liouville's equation. This PDE emerges in a limit N→∞ from the equilibrium statistical mechanics of classical point particles with gravitational interactions (SMGI) in dimension d=2 which, accordingly, is an exactly solvable continuum model in this limit. Interestingly, in d=1 and all d>2, the SMGI can be, and partly has been, exactly evaluated for all N≤∞. This entitles one to suspect that the SMGI for d=2 is likewise exactly solvable for N>∞, but currently this is an unproven hypothesis. If this conjecture can be answered in the affirmative, spin-offs in various areas associated with Liouville's equation, such as vortex gases, superfluidity, random matrices, and string theory can be expected.
