The two-sphere partition function in two-dimensional quantum gravity at fixed area

Abstract We discuss two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to conformal matter and fixed area in a semiclassical large and negative matter central charge limit. In this setup the gravity theory — otherwise highly fluctuating — admits a round two-sphere saddle. We discuss the two-sphere partition fu...
