Two Dimensional Quantum Gravity Coupled to Matter

Abstract

A classical two dimensional theory of gravity which has a number of interesting features (including a Newtonian limit, black holes and gravitational collapse) is quantized using conformal field theoretic techniques. The critical dimension depends upon Newton's constant, permitting models with $d=4$. The constraint algebra and scaling properties of the model are computed.
