Abstract

We study the non-critical string field theory with non-orientable string interactions by using the transfer matrix formalism in the dynamical triangulation. For any value of cc (total central charge of matter), we have constructed the non-orientable string field theory at the discrete level. Two coupling constants GG and \Gx\Gx which satisfy the relation (\Gx)3=G\Gx(\Gx)^3 = G \Gx are introduced, where GG counts the number of untwisted handles of the world-sheet while \Gx\Gx counts the number of cross-caps. In the case of the non-critical string theory which correspond to multicritical one matrix models (including c=0c=0 case), we have succeeded in taking the continuum limit, and then have obtained the continuous string field theory.
