Liouville Theory

Liouville theory is a mathematical framework used in physics to describe two-dimensional surfaces with variable curvature, often appearing in string theory and quantum gravity. It involves a special type of equation called the Liouville equation, which governs how a field (a function describing surface shape) changes across a surface. This theory helps scientists understand complex phenomena related to the geometry of spacetime at very small scales, providing insights into how the universe’s fabric behaves when influenced by quantum effects. It combines ideas from geometry, quantum mechanics, and field theory to explore fundamental aspects of the universe.
