Two-Dimensional Quantum Gravity in Temporal Gauge

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v2

Abstract

We propose a new type of gauge in two-dimensional quantum gravity. We investigate pure gravity in this gauge, and find that the system reduces to quantum mechanics of loop length ll. Furthermore, we rederive the c ⁣= ⁣0c\!=\!0 string field theory which was discovered recently. In particular, the pregeometric form of the Hamiltonian is naturally reproduced.
