Abstract

We consider the recently proposed analytic expression for the three-point function in the Liouville field theory on a sphere. It is verified that in the classical limit this expression reduces to what the classical Liouville theory predicts. Using the suggested three-point function as the structure constant of the operator algebra we construct the four-point function of the exponential fields and check numerically that it satisfies the conformal bootstrap equations. The Liouville reflection amplitude which follows explicitly from the structure constants is also considered and compared with the results of the Bethe ansatz technique.
