Some Properties of (Non) Critical Strings

Abstract

We review some recent developments in string theory, emphasizing the importance of vacuum instabilities, their relation to the density of states, and the role of space-time fermions in non-critical string theory. We also discuss the classical dynamics of two dimensional string theory.
