Light - Cone Quantisation of Matrix Models at c > 1 ⋆
نویسندگان
چکیده
The technique of (discretised) light-cone quantisation, as applied to matrix models of relativistic strings, is reviewed. The case of the c = 2 non-critical bosonic string is discussed in some detail to clarify the nature of the continuum limit. Further applications for the technique are then outlined. ⋆ To appear in proceedings of the NATO Advanced Workshop on Recent Developements in Strings, Conformal Models, and Topological Field Theories, Cargèse, France, 12-21 May 1993.

Light Front Quantisation as an Initial-Boundary Value Problem
In the light front quantisation scheme initial conditions are usually provided on a single lightlike hyperplane. This, however, is insufficient to yield a unique solution of the field equations. We investigate under which additional conditions the problem of solving the field equations becomes well posed. The consequences for quantisation are studied within a Hamiltonian formulation by using th...
متن کاملEffect of Zero Modes on the Bound-State Spectrum in Light-Cone Quantisation
We study the role of bosonic zero modes in light-cone quantisation on the invariant mass spectrum for the simplified setting of two-dimensional SU(2) Yang-Mills theory coupled to massive scalar adjoint matter. Specifically, we use discretised light-cone quantisation where the momentum modes become discrete. Two types of zero momentum mode appear – constrained and dynamical zero modes. In fact o...
متن کاملString spectrum of (1+1)-dimensional large-N QCD with adjoint matter.
We propose gauging matrix models of string theory to eliminate unwanted non-singlet states. To this end we perform a discretised light-cone quantisation of large N gauge theory in 1+1 dimensions, with scalar or fermionic matter fields transforming in the adjoint representation of SU(N). The entire spectrum consists of bosonic and fermionic closed-string excitations, which are free as N → ∞. We ...
متن کاملTrivial Spectrum of Free 1+1 Light-cone Strings *
The BRST cohomology of 1+1 strings in a free light-cone gauge contains only the two-dimensional tachyon, and excludes all excited states of both matter and ghosts, including the special states that arise in the continuum conformal gauge quantization and in the c = 1 matrix models. This exclusion takes place at a very basic level, and therefore may signal some serious problems or at least unreso...
متن کاملCollinear QCD Models
In ancient times, ’t Hooft studied the mesons in QCD1+1 [1] to illustrate the power of the large N limit [2] in the light-cone formalism. Recently some generalisations of the ’t Hooft model have been studied, which retain a remnant of transverse degrees of freedom, based on a dimensional reduction of QCD to 1+1 dimensions [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. In this collinear approximation, quarks and gluons...
