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.

The conformal-gauge two-dimensional quantum gravity is formulated in the framework of the BRS quantization and solved completely in the Heisenberg picture: all n-point Wightman functions are explicitly obtained. The field-equation anomaly is shown to exist as in other gauges, but there is no other subtlety. At the critical dimension D = 26 of the bosonic string, the field-equation anomaly is shown to be absent. However, this result is not equivalent to the statement that the conformal anomaly is proportional to D - 26. The existence of the FP-ghost number current anomaly is seen to be an illusion.

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.

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.

New Framework

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 light-cone and conformal gauges are equivalent in the sense that the well known SL (2, ℝ) current structure in the light-cone gauge is obtained from the results in the conformal one under a proper coordinate transformation. This result is due to the residual symmetry of the scalar field Φ.

Abstract We construct a new covariant action for “flat” self-dual gravity in four space-time dimensions. The action has just one term, but when expanded around an appropriate background gives rise to a kinetic term and a cubic interaction. Upon imposing the light-cone gauge, the action reproduces the expected chiral interaction of Siegel. The new action is in many ways analogous to the known covariant action for self-dual Yang-Mills theory. There is also a sense in which the new self-dual gravity action exhibits the double copy of self-dual Yang-Mills structure.
