Abstract

We construct the Hamiltonian operator of the string field theory for c=0c=0 string theory. It describes how strings evolve in the coordinate frame, which is defined by using the geodesic distance on the worldsheet. The Hamiltonian consists of three-string interaction terms and a tadpole term. We show that one can derive the loop amplitudes of c=0c=0 string theory from this Hamiltonian.
