The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded The University of Chicago $300,000 on August 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop theoretical understanding of extensions of Liouville quantum gravity (LQG). The project runs through July 31, 2029, with performance at the University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois. Research activities focus on three directions: deeper understanding of the supercritical phase of LQG, which remains less well-understood than the subcritical phase but holds potential significance for string theory; extensions of LQG theory to three or higher dimensions through study of random manifolds rather than random surfaces; and analysis of large-scale behavior of directed distances in random planar maps, which connect to longest increasing subsequences in random permutations and discrete analogs of a hypothetical directed LQG metric. The project provides research opportunities for graduate students. No sub-awards are planned.
