(Normally) SSC 319 on University Park Campus (USC ).\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk\, we will discuss recent progress in understa nding quantum gravity amplitudes (partition function and boundary correlat ion functions) in Liouville gravity\, and how they limit to Jackiw-Teitelb oim (JT) correlators. We also discuss multiboundary and higher genus ampli tudes. We focus on two main results: the Liouville gravity answers look li ke q-deformations of the JT answers\, and Liouville gravity can be related to a 2d dilaton gravity with a sinh dilaton potential. We end with discus sions on supersymmetric extensions and work in progress. Based largely on arXiv:2006.07072 and 2007.00998.\n\nZoom Meeting ID: 983 6213 2972\nPasswo rd: 262175 (You will enter a waiting room at first.
