Correlation functions and vertex operators of Liouville theory

Abstract: We calculate correlation functions for vertex operators with negative integer exponentials of a periodic Liouville field, and derive the general case by continuing them as distributions. The path-integral based conjectures of Dorn and Otto prove to be conditionally valid only. We formulate integral representations for the generic vertex operators and indicate structures which are related to the Liouville S-matrix.

“…For normalizable states with α = Q 2 + iR, the last expression is consistent with the anomalous hermiticity of p, 24) which follows from the presence of the background charge. In order to define the quantum version of e − bϕ 2 , let us define the "screening charges"…”

“…Therefore it is natural to try to quantize Liouville theory by quantizing the mapping to this free field via operator quantization. This program has been carried out successfully in [21] were the DOZZ formula [22,23] for the Liouville three point function was reobtained (see also [24]). …”

“…But for α = − n 2 the series becomes finite, as it is expected from the classical picture. V − n 2 contains only n + 1 terms and one can obtain the corresponding correlation function p ′ , 0|V − n 2 |p, 0 in a closed form [14]. The continuation of this expression to arbitrary α reproduces the 3-point correlation function of [11,12].…”

“…Equation (2.13) is invariant under the SL(2, R) transformations Ψ → SΨ. The corresponding infinitesimal form of ξ(x) is 17) and for ξ(x) = x it is constant T = − 18) and it is associated with the vacuum of the system. The vacuum solution is invariant under the SL(2, R) subgroup of conformal transformations generated by the vector fields ∂ x , cos x∂ x and sin x∂ x and this symmetry is a particular case of (2.16) for ξ(x) = x.…”
