Poisson structure and Moyal quantisation of the Liouville theory

Abstract: The symplectic and Poisson structures of the Liouville theory are derived from the symplectic form of the SL(2, R) WZNW theory by gauge invariant Hamiltonian reduction. Causal non-equal time Poisson brackets for a Liouville field are presented. Using the symmetries of the Liouville theory, symbols of chiral fields are constructed and their * -products calculated. Quantum deformations consistent with the canonical quantisation result, and a non-equal time commutator is given.

“…Such a procedure gives an anomaly-free quantum Liouville theory only if additional quantum deformations are taken into consideration [4][5][6][7][8]. A quantum realisation of (11), consistent with the operator Liouville equation and the canonical commutation relations, was so constructed in [6].…”

“…Nevertheless, its quantum description is still incomplete. By canonical quantisation [4][5][6][7][8] it could be shown that the operator Liouville equation and the Poisson structure of the theory, including the causal non-equal time properties, are consistent with conformal invariance and locality [6,8], but exact results for Liouville correlation functions remained rare [9] despite of ambitious programmes [10,11].…”

“…But much simpler results can arise when the contributions from the different chiralities are pieced together. This was observed recently for non-equal time Poisson brackets of a gauged WZNW theory, namely the Liouville theory [4]. Since WZNW models and their coset theories turn up in many areas of mathematics and physics, it is worthwhile to add the corresponding results for other WZNW theories.…”

“…In this case only one component of the WZNW field, g 12 (z,z), is gauge invariant, and it is identified with the Liouville exponential [5,4] g 12 (z,z) = e −γϕ(z,z) .…”
