A general formula for the discrete states (Neveu-Schwarz sector) in $N=1$ $2D$ super-Liouville theory is written down in the world-sheet supersymmetric form. We then derive a set of gauge states at the discrete momenta. These discrete gauge…
We contruct the general formula for a set of discrete gauge states (DGS) in c<1 Liouville theory. This formula reproduces the previously found c=1 DGS in the appropriate limiting case. We also demonstrate the SO(2,C) invariant structure of…
The continuum (Liouville) approach to the two-dimensional (2-D) quantum gravity is reviewed with particular attention to the $c=1$ conformal matter coupling, and new results on a related problem of dilaton gravity are reported. After…
It is shown that the two dimensional gravity, described either in the conformal gauge (the Liouville theory) or in the light cone gauge, when coupled to matter possesses an infinite number of twisted $N=2$ superconformal symmetries. The…
We use the W-infinity symmetry of c=1 quantum gravity to compute matrix model special state correlation functions. The results are compared, and found to agree, with expectations from the Liouville model.
We study the discrete state structure of $\hat c=1$ superconformal matter coupled to 2-D supergravity. Factorization properties of scattering amplitudes are used to identify these states and to construct the corresponding vertex operators.…
A canonical quantization for two dimensional gravity models, including a dilaton gravity model, is performed in a way suitable for the light-cone gauge. We extend the theory developed by Abdalla {\it et.al.}\cite{AM} and obtain the…
(This talk was presented at the Third International Wigner Symposium on Group Theory, Oxford, September, 1993.) Matrix models provides us with the most powerful framework in which to analyze D=2 string theory, yet some of its miraculous…
We present a non-relativistic fermionic field theory in 2-dimensions coupled to external gauge fields. The singlet sector of the $c=1$ matrix model corresponds to a specific external gauge field. The gauge theory is one-dimensional (time)…
The discrete states of $c=1$ string theory at the self-dual radius are associated with modes of $W_{1+\infty}$ currents and their genus zero correlators are computed. An analogy to a recent suggestion based on the integrable structure of…
A new formulation of $c\leq 1$ matter coupled to 2D gravity is proposed. This model, being closely analogous to one in the Polyakov light-cone gauge, possesses well defined global properties which allow to calculate correlation functions.…
The Symmetry charges associated with the Lian-Zuckerman states for $d<2$ closed string theory are constructed. Unlike in the open string case, it is shown here that the symmetry charges commute among themselves and act trivially on all the…
The geometric structure of theories with gauge fields of spins two and higher should involve a higher spin generalisation of Riemannian geometry. Such geometries are discussed and the case of $W_\infty$-gravity is analysed in detail. While…
We find the discrete states of the c=1 string in the light-cone gauge of Polyakov. When the state space of the gravitational sector of the theory is taken to be the irreducible representations of the SL(2,R) current algebra, the cohomology…
The strong coupling physics of two dimensional gravity at $C=7$, $13$, $19$ is summarized. It is based on a new set of local fields which do not preserve chirality. Thus this quantum number becomes ``deconfined'' in the strongly coupled…
We study 2d gravity coupled to $c,1$ matter through canonical quantization of a free scalar field, with background charge, coupled to gravity. Various features of the theory can be more easily understood in the canonical approach, like…
We introduce the complex Liouville string, a solvable string theory defined by coupling two Liouville theories with complex conjugate central charges $c \in 13+i \mathbb{R}$ on the worldsheet. We compute its amplitudes from first principles…
The non critical string (2D gravity coupled to the matter with central charge $D$) is quantized taking care of both diffeomorphism and Weyl symmetries. In incorporating the gauge fixing with respect to the Weyl symmetry, through the…
A Lagrangian continuum model for a string theory with central charge $c>1$ is formulated by incorporating Weyl and diffeomorphism gauge fixing. In particular the tachyon scattering amplitudes are deduced generalizing the standard $c\le 1$…
The Lax pair formulation of the two dimensional induced gravity in the light-cone gauge is extended to the more general $w_N$ theories. After presenting the $w_2$ and $w_3$ gravities, we give a general prescription for an arbitrary $w_N$…
