Abstract
We give a physicist's derivation of the geometrical (in the spirit of Duplantier-Sheffield) KPZ relations, via heat kernel methods. It gives a covariant way to de. ne neighborhoods of fractals in 2D quantum gravity, and shows that these relations are in the realm of conformal field theory.Keywords
