Abstract

The physical states on the free field Fock space of the {SL(2,R)\over SL(2,R) model at any level are computed. Using a similarity transformation on QBRSTQ_{BRST}, the cohomology of the latter is mapped into a direct sum of simpler cohomologies. We show a one to one correspondence between the states of the k=1k=-1 model and those of the c=1c=1 string model. A full equivalence between the {SL(2,R)\over SL(2,R) and {SL(2,R)\over U(1) models at the level of their Fock space cohomologies is found.
