Abstract: We show that for each γ∈(0,2)γ∈(0,2), there is an exponent dγ>2dγ>2, the ``fractal dimension of γγ-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG)", which describes the ball volume growth exponent for certain random planar maps in the γγ-LQG universality class, the graph-distance displacement exponent for random walk on these random planar maps, the exponent for the Liouville heat kernel, and exponents for various continuum approximations of γγ-LQG distances such as Liouville graph distance and Liouville first passage percolation. This builds on work of Ding-Zeitouni-Zhang (2018). We also show that dγdγ is a continuous, strictly increasing function of γγ and prove upper and lower bounds for dγdγ which in some cases greatly improve on previously known bounds for the aforementioned exponents. For example, for γ=2–√γ=2 (which corresponds to spanning-tree weighted planar maps) our bounds give 3.4641≤d2√≤3.632993.4641≤d2≤3.63299 and in the limiting case we get 4.77485≤limγ→2−dγ≤4.898984.77485≤limγ→2−dγ≤4.89898. Based on joint works with Jian Ding, Nina Holden, Tom Hutchcroft, Jason Miller, and Xin Sun.
