Lattice Approach

We review some results of the recent progress in understanding two-dimensional quantum gravity and low-dimensional string theories based on the lattice approach. The possibility to solve the lattice models exactly comes from their equivalence to large N matrix models. We describe various matrix models and their continuum limits, and discuss in some detail the phase structure of Hermitian one-matrix models. For the one-dimensional matrix model we discuss its field theoretic formulation through a collective field method and summarize some perturbative results. We compare the results obtained from matrix models to the results in the continuum approach to string theory.

We identify a quantity in the c = 1 matrix model which describes the wave function for physical scattering of a tachyon from a black hole of the two-dimensional critical string theory. At the semiclassical level this quantity corresponds to the usual picture of a wave coming in from infinity, part of which enters the black hole becoming singular at the singularity, while the rest is scattered back to infinity, with nothing emerging from the white hole. We find, however, that the exact non-perturbative wave function is non-singular at the singularity and appears to end up in the asymptotic region "behind" the singularity.

Black Hole Background

We show that an integral transform of the fluctuations of the collective field of the d=1 matrix model satisfy the same linearized equation as that of the massless “tachyon” in the black hole background of the two-dimensional critical string. This suggests that the d=1 matrix model may provide a non-perturbative description of black holes in two-dimensional string theory.

Abstract We derive general BPS boundary conditions in two-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2, 2) supersymmetric gauge theories. We analyze the solutions of these boundary conditions, and in particular those that allow the bulk fields to have poles at the boundary. We also present the brane configurations for the half- and quarter-BPS boundary conditions of the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2, 2) supersymmetric gauge theories in terms of branes in Type IIA string theory. We find that both A-type and B-type brane configurations are lifted to M-theory as a system of M2-branes ending on an M5-brane wrapped on a product of a holomorphic curve in ℂ2 with a special Lagrangian 3-cycle in ℂ3.

Abstract We study a unitary matrix model of the Gross-Witten-Wadia type, extended with the addition of characteristic polynomial insertions. The model interpolates between solvable unitary matrix models and is the unitary counterpart of a deformed Cauchy ensemble. Exact formulas for the partition function and Wilson loops are given in terms of Toeplitz determinants and minors and large N results are obtained by using Szegö theorem with a Fisher-Hartwig singularity. In the large N (planar) limit with two scaled couplings, the theory exhibits a surprisingly intricate phase structure in the two-dimensional parameter space.

Remarkable Agreement

Abstract In a recent paper, Balthazar, Rodriguez and Yin found remarkable agreement between the one instanton contribution to the scattering amplitudes of two dimensional string theory and those in the matrix model to the first subleading order. The comparison was carried out numerically by analytically continuing the external energies to imaginary values, since for real energies the string theory result diverges. We use insights from string field theory to give finite expressions for the string theory amplitudes for real energies. We also show analytically that the imaginary parts of the string theory amplitudes computed this way reproduce the full matrix model results for general scattering amplitudes involving multiple closed strings.

One of the main topics in the modern String Theory are the AdS/CFT dualities. Proving such conjectures is extremely difficult since the gauge and string theory perturbative regimes do not overlap. In this perspective, the discovery of infinitely many conserved charges, that is, the integrability, in the planar AdS/CFT has allowed us to reach immense progresses in understanding and confirming the duality. We review the fundamental concepts and properties of integrability in two-dimensionalσ-models and in the AdS/CFT context. The first part is focused on theAdS5/CFT4duality, especially the classical and quantum integrability of the type IIB superstring onAdS5×S5which is discussed in both pure spinor and Green-Schwarz formulations. The second part is dedicated to theAdS4/CFT3duality with particular attention to the type IIA superstring onAdS4×ℂP3and its integrability. This review is based on the author's PhD thesis discussed at Uppsala University the 21st September 2009.

Continuum Field

The radius dependence of partition functions is explicitly evaluated in the continuum field theory of a compactified boson, interacting with two-dimensional quantum gravity (noncritical string) on Riemann surfaces for the first few genera. The partition function for the torus is found to be a sum of terms proportional to R and 1/R. This is in agreement with the result of a discretized version (matrix models), but is quite different from the critical string. The supersymmetric case is also explicitly evaluated.
