Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 1900 - 1903 (1995)Model of Two-Dimensional Quantum Gravity in the Strong Coupling Regime
J. Gamboa Received 11 October 1994 A model of two-dimensional quantum gravity that is the analog of the tensionless string is proposed. The gravitational constant ( k) is the analog of the Regge slope ( α′), and it shows that when k→∞, 2D quantum gravity can be understood as a tensionless string theory embedded in a two-dimensional target space. The temporal coordinate of the target space plays the role of time, and the wave function can be interpreted as in standard quantum mechanics. ©1995 The American Physical Society
