On a worldsheet dual of the Gaussian matrix model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss a modification of Gopakumar’s prescription for constructing string theory duals of free gauge theories. We use this prescription to construct an unconventional worldsheet dual of the Gaussian matrix model.

Two-Dimensional Unoriented Strings And Matrix Models
We investigate unoriented strings and superstrings in two dimensions and their dual matrix quantum mechanics. Most of the models we study have a tachyon tadpole coming from the RP 2 worldsheet which needs to be cancelled by a renormalization of the worldsheet theory. We find evidence that the dual matrix models describe the renormalized theory. The singlet sector of the matrix models is integra...
متن کاملThe Effects of Inhomogeneous Mechanical Properties of the Ferrite Phase on Dual Phase Steel’s Behavior
The microstructure of dual phase steels can be considered as a matrix of ferrite phase reinforced by martensite particles. Recent measurements show that the mechanical properties of the ferrite phase are changed with the distance from the martensite grains. In this paper, a new method has been proposed to consider this phenomenon in finite element modeling of dual phase steels microstructure. I...
متن کاملThe Annular Report on Non-Critical String Theory
Recent results on the annulus partition function in Liouville field theory are applied to non-critical string theory, both below and above the critical dimension. Liouville gravity coupled to c ≤ 1 matter has a dual formulation as a matrix model. Two well-known matrix model results are reproduced precisely using the worldsheet formulation: (1) the correlation function of two macroscopic loops, ...
متن کاملAnnulus Amplitudes in the Minimal Superstring
We study the annulus amplitudes in the (2, 4) minimal superstring theory using the continuum worldsheet approach. Our results reproduce the semiclassical behavior of the wavefunctions of FZZT-branes recently studied in hep-th/0412315 using the dual matrix model. We also study the multi-point functions of neutral FZZT-branes and find the agreement between their semiclassical limit and the worlds...

We summarize recent progress in the understanding of minimal string theory, focusing on the worldsheet description of physical operators and D-branes. We review how a geometric interpretation of minimal string theory emerges naturally from the study of the D-branes. This simple geometric picture ties together many otherwise unrelated features of minimal string theory, and it leads directly to a...
