By Wertheim method the exact solution of the Percus-Yevick integral equation for a system of particles with the "repulsive step potential",interacting ("collapsing" hard spheres) is obtained. On the basis of this solution the state equation for the "repulsive step potential" is built and determined, that the Percus-Yevick equation does not show the Van der Waalse loop for "collapsing" hard spheres.

We review and extend the computation of scattering amplitudes of tachyons in the $c=1$ matrix model using a manifestly finite prescription for the collective field hamiltonian. We give further arguments for the exactness of the cubic hamiltonian by demonstrating the equality of the loop corrections in the collective field theory with those calculated in the fermionic picture.
We consider the $c=1$ matrix model deformed by the operator ${1\over 2} M\TrΦ^{-2}$, which was conjectured by Jevicki and Yoneya to describe a two-dimensional black hole of mass $M$. We calculate the exact non-perturbative $S$-matrix and show that all the amplitudes involving an odd number of particles vanish at least to all orders of perturbation theory. We conjecture that these amplitudes vanish non-perturbatively and prove this for the $2n \to 1$ scattering. For the 2-- and 4--particle amplitudes we give some leading terms of the perturbative expansion.
We consider 1+1-dimensional QCD coupled to Majorana fermions in the adjoint representation of the gauge group $SU(N)$. Pair creation of partons (fermion quanta) is not suppressed in the large-$N$ limit, where the glueball-like bound states become free. In this limit the spectrum is given by a linear \lc\ Schr\" odinger equation, which we study numerically using the discretized \lcq. We find a discrete spectrum of bound states, with the logarithm of the level density growing approximately linearly with the mass. The wave function of a typical excited state is a complicated mixture of components with different parton numbers. A few low-lying states, however, are surprisingly close to being eigenstates of the parton number, and their masses can be accurately calculated by truncated diagonalizations.
We study the large $N$ limit of an interacting \td\ matrix field theory, whose perturbative expansion generates the sum over planar random graphs embedded in two dimensions. In the \lc\ quantization the theory possesses closed string excitations which become free as $N\to\infty$. If the longitudinal momenta are discretized, then the calculation of the free string spectrum reduces to finite matrix diagonalization, the size of the matrix growing as the cut-off is removed. Our numerical results suggest that, for a critical coupling, the \lc\ string spectrum becomes continuous. This would indicate the massless dynamics of the Liouville mode of \td\ gravity, which would constitute a {\it third} dimension of the string theory.
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 tends to infinity. We analyze the general features of such bound states as a function of the cut-off and the gauge coupling, obtaining good convergence for the case of adjoint fermions. We discuss possible extensions of the model and the search for new non-critical string theories.
