چکیده
We construct a string field Hamiltonian for a noncritical string theory with the continuum limit of the Ising model or its generalization as the matter theory on the worldsheet. It consists of only three string vertices as in the case for c = 0. We also discuss a general consistency condition that should be satisfied by this kind of string field Hamiltonian.

String Field Theory of Noncritical Strings
We construct the Hamiltonian operator of the string field theory for c = 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 = 0 string theory from this Hamiltonian.
متن کاملA Background Independent Formulation of Noncritical String Theory
Using the string field theory recently proposed by the authors and collaborators, we give a background independent formulation of rational noncritical string theories with c ≤ 1. With a little modification of the string field Hamiltonians previously constructed, we obtain string field theories which include various rational noncritical string theories as classical backgrounds.
متن کاملLoops versus Matrices - The Nonperturbative Aspects of Noncritical String -
The nonperturbative aspects of string theory are explored for noncritical string in two distinct formulations, loop equations and matrix models. The effects corresponding to the D-brane in these formulations are especially investigated in detail. It is shown that matrix models can universally yield a definite value of the chemical potential for an instanton while loop equations cannot. This imp...

We look for soliton solutions in c = 0 noncritical string field theory constructed by the authors and collaborators. It is shown that the string field action itself is very complicated in our formalism but it satisfies a very simple equation. We derive an equation which a solution to the equation of motion should satisfy. Using this equation, we conjecture the form of a soliton solution which i...
