Liouville Conformal Field Theory (LCFT) is an essential building block of
Polyakov's formulation of non critical string theory. Moreover, scaling
limits of statistical mechanics models on random lattices (planar maps) are
believed to be described by LCFT as well as partition functions of certain
4-dimensional Yang-Mills theories. I will give an introduction to a rigorous
probabilistic construction of LCFT (joint work with F. David, R. Rhodes and
V. Vargas) and sketch a proof (jointly with R. Rhodes and V. Vargas) of the
remarkable explicit expression of the three point functions of LCFT
conjectured by Dorn, Otto, Zamolodchicov and Zamolodchikov.
