We propose a discrete model whose continuum limit reproduces the string susceptibility and the scaling dimensions of (2, 4m) minimal superconformal models coupled to 2D supergravity. The basic assumption in our presentation is a set of super-Virasoro constraints imposed on the partition function. We recover the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond sectors of the theory, and we are also able to evaluate all planar loop correlation functions in the continuum limit. We find evidence to identify the integrable hierarchy of nonlinear equations describing the double scaling limit as a supersymmetric generalization of KP studied by Rabin.

We obtain the double scaling limit of a set of superloop equations recently proposed to describe the coupling of two-dimensional supergravity to minimal superconformal matter of type (2,4m). The continuum loop equations are described in terms of a [Formula: see text] theory with a Z2-twisted scalar field and a Weyl–Majorana fermion in the Ramond sector. We have computed correlation functions in genus zero, one and partially in genus two. An integrable supersymmetric hierarchy describing our model has not yet been found. We present a heuristic argument showing that the purely bosonic part of our model is described by the KdV hierarchy.

Double Scaling Limit

The discrete model of the real symmetric one-matrix ensemble is analyzed with a cubic interaction. The partition function is found to satisfy a recursion relation that solves the model. The double scaling-limit of the recursion relation leads to a Miura transformation relating the contributions to the free energy coming from oriented and unoriented random surfaces. This transformation is the same kind as found with a quartic interaction.

We present the solution of the discrete super-Virasoro constraints to all orders of the genus expansion. Integrating over the fermionic variables we get a representation of the partition function in terms of the one-matrix model. We also obtain the non-perturbative solution of the super-Virasoro constraints in the double scaling limit but do not find agreement between our flows and the known supersymmetric extensions of KdV.

The Continuum

The double scaling limit of a new class of the multi-matrix models proposed in Ref. 1, which possess the W-symmetry at the discrete level, is investigated in detail. These models are demonstrated to fall into the same universality class as the standard multi-matrix models. In particular, the transformation of the W-algebra at the discrete level into the continuum one of the papers2 is proposed and the corresponding partition functions compared. All calculations are demonstrated in full in the first nontrivial case of W(3)-constraints.

We propose random matrix models which have N=1/2 supersymmetry in zero dimension. The supersymmetry breaks down spontaneously. It is shown that the double scaling limit can be defined in these models and the breakdown of the supersymmetry remains in the continuum limit. The exact non-trivial partition functions of the string theories corresponding to these matrix models are also obtained.

Integrable hierarchies with Virasoro constraints have been observed to describe matrix models. I suggest to define general Virasoro-constrained integrable hierarchies by imposing Virasora-highest-weight conditions on the dressing operators. This simplifies the study of the Virasoro constraints and allows an explicit construction of a scaling which implements the continuum limit of discrete (lattice) hierarchies. Applied to the Toda lattice hierarchy subjected to the Virasoro constraints, this scaling leads to the Virasoro-constrained KP hierarchy. Therefore, in particular, the KP hierarchy is shown to arise as the scaling limit of a matrix model.

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.

We study the continuum Schwinger-Dyson equations for nonperturbative two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to various matter fields. The continuum Schwinger-Dyson equations for the one-matrix model are explicitly derived and turn out to be a formal Virasoro condition on the square root of the partition function, which is conjectured to be the τ function of the KdV hierarchy. Furthermore, we argue that general multi-matrix models are related to the W algebras and suitable reductions of KP hierarchy and its generalizations.

Model Approach

Universality with respect to triangulations is investigated in the Hermitian one-matrix model approach to 2-D quantum gravity for a potential containing both even and odd terms, [Formula: see text]. With the use of analytical and numerical calculations, I find that the universality holds and the model describes pure gravity, which leads in the double scaling limit to coupled equations of Painlevé type.
