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.

We present a new model of quantum gravity as a theory of random geometries given explicitly in terms of a multitrace matrix model. This is a generalization of the usual discretized random surfaces of two-dimensional quantum gravity which works away from two dimensions and captures a large class of spaces admitting a finite spectral triple. These multitrace matrix models sustain emergent geometry as well as growing dimensions and topology change.

If gravity is asymptotically safe, operators will exhibit anomalous scaling at the ultraviolet fixed point in a way that makes the theory effectively two-dimensional. A number of independent lines of evidence, based on different approaches to quantization, indicate a similar short-distance dimensional reduction. I will review the evidence for this behavior, emphasizing the physical question of what one means by “dimension” in a quantum spacetime, and will discuss possible mechanisms that could explain the universality of this phenomenon.
