Abstract We study two-dimensional Liouville gravity and minimal string theory on spaces with fixed length boundaries. We find explicit formulas describing the gravitational dressing of bulk and boundary correlators in the disk. Their structure has a striking resemblance with observables in 2d BF (plus a boundary term), associated to a quantum deformation of SL(2, ℝ), a connection we develop in some detail. For the case of the (2, p) minimal string theory, we compare and match the results from the continuum approach with a matrix model calculation, and verify that in the large p limit the correlators match with Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. We consider multi-boundary amplitudes that we write in terms of gluing bulk one-point functions using a quantum deformation of the Weil-Petersson volumes and gluing measures. Generating functions for genus zero Weil-Petersson volumes are derived, taking the large p limit. Finally, we present preliminary evidence that the bulk theory can be interpreted as a 2d dilaton gravity model with a sinh Φ dilaton potential.

This paper attempts to give a unified treatment of experiments obtained with solid, liquid and boundary lubricants, different plastics, high temperature steels and elastomers. The argument is centered around third body role, load-carrying capacity, transport and continuum mechanics. This study suggests that an extension to general tribology of the continuum approach used in full film lubrication could be profitable.

Objective: In this paper I critically review the recently developed idea that delusions are best considered as part of a continuum along with more ordinary human beliefs. Method: A literature review of the area was guided by a Medline search, and supplemented with material already known to the author. Claims that recent research supports the continuum hypothesis is critiqued. Results: The argument and evidence advanced for the continuum approach to delusions depends largely on: (i) inadequacies of prevailing definitions of delusion, particularly in the light of evidence that delusional conviction is often not absolute; and (ii) the high prevalence of unusual beliefs in community populations. To the extent that the delusion construct contains much in addition to conviction and unusual or false belief content, the continuity approach is weak. The category of delusions continues to have some validity. Conclusion: Both categorical and continuous approaches to delusions have validity that depends at any time on our immediate clinical or scientific needs. No definitive resolution of the category versus continuum debate is likely to emerge.

We discuss the singlet sector of the d=1 matrix model in terms of a Dirac fermion formalism. The leading order two- and three-point functions of the density fluctuations are obtained by this method. This allows us to construct the effective action to that order and hence provide the equation of motion. This equation is compared with the one obtained from the continuum approach. We also compare continuum results for correlation functions with the matrix model ones and discuss the nature of gravitational dressing for this regularization. Finally, we address the question of boundary conditions within the framework of the d=1 unitary matrix model, considered as a regularized version of the Hermitian model, and study the implications of a generalized action with an additional parameter (analogous to the θ parameter) which give rise to quasi-periodic wave functions.
