We investigate the Ward identities of the $W_{\infty}$ symmetry in the Liouville theory coupled to the $(p,q)$ conformal matter. The correlation functions are defined by applying the analytic continuation procedure for the matter sector as well as the Liouville one. We then find that the Ward identities are equivalent to the $W_q$ algebra constraints deduced from the matrix model.
The nonlinear structures in 2D quantum gravity coupled to the $(q+1,q)$ minimal model are studied in the Liouville theory to clarify the factorization and the physical states. It is confirmed that the dressed primary states outside the minimal table are identified with the gravitational descendants. Using the discrete states of ghost number zero and one we construct the currents and investigate the Ward identities which are identified with the W and the Virasoro constraints. As nontrivial examples we derive the $L_0$, $L_1$ and $W_{-1}^{(3)}$ equations exactly. $L_n$ and $W^{(k)}_n$ equations are also discussed. We then explicitly show the decoupling of the edge states $O_j ~(j=0~ {\rm mod}~ q) $. We consider the interaction theory perturbed by the cosmological constant $O_1$ and the screening charge $S^+ =O_{2q+1}$. The formalism can be easily generalized to potential models other than the screening charge.
The quantum theory of the spherically symmetric gravity in 3+1 dimensions is investigated. The functional measures are explicitly evaluated and the physical state conditions are derived by using the technique developed in two dimensional quantum gravity. Then the new features which are not seen in ADM formalism come out. If $κ_s > 0 $, where $κ_s =(N-27)/12π$ and $N$ is the number of matter fields, a singularity appears, while for $κ_s <0$ the singularity disappears. The quantum dynamics of black hole seems to be changed by the sign of $κ_s $. (Talk given by K.H. at Workshop on General Relativity and Gravity, Waseda, Tokyo, Japan, 18-20 Jan 1993.)
The Ward identities of the Liouville gravity coupled to the minimal conformal matter are investigated. We introduce the pseudo-null fields and the generalized equations of motion, which are classified into series of the Liouville charges. These series have something to do with the W and Virasoro constraints. The pseudo-null fields have non-trivial contributions at the boundaries of the moduli space. We explicitly evaluate the several boundary contributions. Then the structures similar to the W and the Virasoro constraints appearing in the topological and the matrix methods are realized. Although our Ward identities have some different features from the other methods, the solutions of the identities are consistent to the matrix model results.
