Tail Profile of Bulk Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos Measures I: Bulk/Boundary Quotients

Abstract

This is the first part of a series of papers devoted to studying the right tail profile of a bulk Gaussian multiplicative chaos measure with uniform singularity on the boundary. We investigate the bulk/boundary quotients of Gaussian multiplicative chaos measures appearing in boundary Liouville conformal field theory, for which we establish preliminary joint moment bounds. These moment bounds will be a crucial ingredient in establishing the right tail profile of the bulk Gaussian multiplicative chaos measure in subsequent papers. The main idea is to implement the so-called localization trick at the boundary, and we also record a useful generalization of Kahane's convexity inequality, which is of independent interest. The study of the universal tail profiles of general bulk measures and bulk/boundary quotients as well as connections to integrability results of boundary Liouville conformal field theory will be pursued in subsequent papers.
