    Liouville quantum gravity and the Brownian map I: the \(\mathrm{QLE}(8/3,0)\) metric

    Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) and the Brownian map (TBM) are two distinct models of measure-endowed random surfaces. LQG is defined in terms of a real parameter \(\gamma \)γ, and it has long been believed that ...
