Liouville numbers, Liouville sets and Liouville fields

Following earlier work by E.Maillet 100 years ago, we introduce the definition of a Liouville set, which extends the definition of a Liouville number. We also define a Liouville field, which is a field generated by a Liouville set. Any Liouville number belongs to a Liouville set S having the power of continuum and such that the union of S with the rational number field is a Liouville field.Comment: Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, to appea

On Approximation constants for Liouville numbers

We investigate some Diophantine approximation constants related to the simultaneous approximation of $(\zeta,\zeta^{2},\ldots,\zeta^{k})$ for Liouville numbers $\zeta$. For a certain class of Liouville numbers including the famous representative $\sum_{n\geq 1} 10^{-n!}$ and numbers in the Cantor set, we explicitly determine all approximation constants simultaneously for all $k\geq 1$.Comment: 12 page

Liouville Numbers and Schanuel's Conjecture

In this paper, using an argument of P. Erdos, K. Alniacik and E. Saias, we extend earlier results on Liouville numbers, due to P. Erdos, G.J. Rieger, W. Schwarz, K. Alniacik, E. Saias, E.B. Burger. We also produce new results of algebraic independence related with Liouville numbers and Schanuel's Conjecture, in the framework of G delta-subsets.Comment: Archiv der Math., to appea

Bulk one-point function on disk in one-matrix model

We consider bulk correlation numbers on disk in one-matrix model. Using the recently found so-called resonance transformation from the KdV to the Liouville frame, we obtain an explicit expression for the bulk one-point function. The result is consistent with the form of FZZ one-point function in the boundary Liouville Field Theory.Comment: 8 page
