Non-critical String Field Theory with Non-orientable String Interactions

We study the non-critical string field theory with non-orientable string interactions by using the transfer matrix formalism in the dynamical triangulation. For any value of $c$ (total central charge of matter), we have constructed the non-orientable string field theory at the discrete level. Two coupling constants $G$ and $\Gx$ which satisfy the relation $(\Gx)^3 = G \Gx$ are introduced, where $G$ counts the number of untwisted handles of the world-sheet while $\Gx$ counts the number of cross-caps. In the case of the non-critical string theory which correspond to multicritical one matrix models (including $c=0$ case), we have succeeded in taking the continuum limit, and then have obtained the continuous string field theory.

Construction of Non-critical String Field Theory by Transfer Matrix Formalism in Dynamical Triangulation

We propose a new method which analyzes the dynamical triangulation from the viewpoint of the non-critical string field theory. By using the transfer matrix formalism, we construct the non-critical string field theory (including $c>1$ cases) at the discrete level. For pure quantum gravity, we succeed in taking the continuum limit and obtain the $c=0$ non-critical string field theory at the continuous level. We also study about the universality of the non-critical string field theory.
