1 String as a Topological Model
The discrete states in the c = 1 string are shown to be the physical states of a certain topological sigma model. We define a set of new fields directly from c = 1 variables, in terms of which the BRST charge and energy-momentum tensor are rewritten as those of the topological sigma model. Remarkably, ground ring generator x turns out to be a coordinate of the sigma model. All of the discrete s...
متن کاملOn Topological 2D String and Intersection Theory
The topological description of 2D string theory at the self-dual radius is studied in the algebro-geometrical formulation of the Ak+1 topological models at k = −3. Genus zero correlators of tachyons and their gravitational descendants are computed as intersection numbers on moduli space and compared to 2D string results. The interpretation of negative momentum tachyons as gravitational descenda...
متن کاملLarge N 2D Yang-Mills Theory and Topological String Theory
We describe a topological string theory which reproduces many aspects of the 1/N expansion of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in two spacetime dimensions in the zero coupling (A = 0) limit. The string theory is a modified version of topological gravity coupled to a topological sigma model with spacetime as target. The derivation of the string theory relies on a new interpretation of Gross and Taylor’s ...
متن کاملTopological Structure in ĉ = 1 Fermionic String Theory
ĉ = 1 fermionic string theory, which is considered as a fermionic string theory in two dimension, is shown to decompose into two mutually independent parts, one of which can be viewed as a topological model and the other is irrelevant for the theory. The physical contents of the theory is largely governed by this topological structure, and the discrete physical spectrum of ĉ = 1 string theory i...
متن کامل2D Yang–Mills Theory as a Matrix String Theory
Quantization of two–dimensional Yang–Mills theory on a torus in the gauge where the field strength is diagonal leads to twisted sectors that are completely analogous to the ones that originate long string states in Matrix String Theory. If these sectors are taken into account the partition function is different from the standard one found in the literature and the invariance of the theory under...
