Abstract

The super Virasoro minimal string is defined by coupling spacelike and timelike super Liouville theories on the worldsheet. There are four different theories 0A±^\pm and 0B±^\pm depending on discrete choices on the worldsheet. We show that these theories arise naturally from quantization of 3d supergravity, and the amplitudes compute the dimension (++) or superdimension (-) of the space of N=1\mathcal{N}=1 superconformal blocks modulo crossing symmetry. Both 0A+^+ and 0B+^+ are perturbatively dual to the same matrix integral as the bosonic Virasoro minimal string, while 0B^- is dual to a matrix integral with an inverse square root singularity. We show that all non-trivial perturbative amplitudes of the 0A^- theory vanish.
