Quantum gravity via conformal loop ensembles

I will explain how to understand the various structures that emerge in Liouville Quantum Gravity (which is the canonical way to define a random Markovian area measure in the plane) and its natural interplay with scaling limits of models from statistical mechanics, using some new special features that we derive in ongoing joint work with Jason Miller and Scott Sheeld. In particular, we will see that a CLE defined on an independent well-chosen LQG surface defines a Poisson point process of so-called quantum disks.
