THE WEINGARTEN MODEL À LA POLYAKOV

The Weingarten Model`a La Polyakov

The Weingarten lattice gauge model of Nambu-Goto strings is generalised to allow for fluctuations of an intrinsic worldsheet metric through a dynamical quadrilation. The continuum limit is taken for c ≤ 1 matter, reproducing the results of hermitian matrix models to all orders in the genus expansion. For the compact c = 1 case the vortices are Wilson lines, whose exclusion leads to a theory of ...
