DESCRIPTION:Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) is a natural model for a two-d
 imensional continuum random geometry. It originated from work on string th
 eory and conformal field theory in the 1980s. In the past decade\, LQG has
  been rigorously understood as a random measure on a two-dimensional surfa
 ce\, by taking a limit of measures on suitable smooth approximations. Howe
 ver\, only at a single special temperature has a metric space structure fo
 r LQG been constructed. I will discuss recent work on the tightness of a s
 equence of natural discretized LQG metrics\, the subsequential limits of w
 hich thus form natural candidates for a continuum metric for LQG. This is 
 joint work with Jian Ding.
