Recently, models of two-dimensional dilaton gravity have been shown to admit classical black hole solutions that exhibit Hawking radiation at the semiclassical level. These classical and semiclassical analyzes have been performed in conformal gauge. We show in this paper that a similar analysis in the light-cone gauge leads to the same results. Moreover, quantization of matter fields in light-cone gauge can be naturally extended to include quantizing the metric field à la KPZ. We argue that this may provide a new framework to address many issues associated to black hole physics.

We show that the two-dimensional gravity coupled to c=−2 matter field in Polyakov’s light-cone gauge has a twisted N=2 superconformal algebra. We also show that the BRST cohomology in the light-cone gauge actually coincides with that in the conformal gauge. Based on this observation the relations between the topological algebras are discussed.

It is shown that the BRS (= Becchi–Rouet–Stora)-formulated two-dimensional BF theory in the light-cone gauge (coupled with chiral Dirac fields) is solved very easily in the Heisenberg picture. The structure of the exact solution is very similar to that of the BRS-formulated two-dimensional quantum gravity in the conformal gauge. In particular, the BRS Noether charge has anomaly. Based on this fact, a criticism is made on the reasoning of Kato and Ogawa, who derived the critical dimension D=26 of string theory on the basis of the anomaly of the BRS Noether charge. By adding the [Formula: see text] term to the BF-theory Lagrangian density, the exact solution to the two-dimensional Yang–Mills theory is also obtained.

Quantization of two-dimensional chiral matter coupled to gravity induces an effective action for the zweibein field which is both Weyl and Lorentz anomalous. Recently, the quantization of this induced action has been analyzed in the light-cone gauge as well as in the conformal gauge. An apparent mismatch between the results obtained in the two gauges is analyzed and resolved by properly treating the Lorentz field as a chiral boson.

Semiclassical Einstein equations for two-dimensional gravity are investigated in lightcone gauge and their group of invariance is discussed. One finds differences with respect to the corresponding results in conformal gauge.

We discuss the properties of Lorentzian and Euclidean black hole solutions of a generalized two-dimensional dilaton gravity action containing a modulus field, which arises from the compactification of heterotic string models. The duality symmetries of these solutions are also investigated.

All thermodynamic quantities of the Reissner–Nordström (RN) black hole can be obtained from the dilaton and its potential of two-dimensional (2D) dilaton gravity. The dual relations of four thermodynamic laws are also established. Furthermore, the near-horizon thermodynamics of the extremal RN black hole is completely described by the Jackiw–Teitelboim theory which is obtained by perturbing around the AdS2-horizon.

We find the relationship between the Jackiw-Teitelboim model of two-dimensional gravity and the SL (2, R) induced gravity. These are shown to be related to a two-dimensional gauge theory obtained by dimensionally reducing the Chern-Simons action of the 2+1 dimensional gravity. We present an explicit solution to the equations of motion of the auxiliary field of the Jackiw-Teitelboim model in the light-cone gauge. A renormalization of the cosmological constant is also given.
