Recent Developments in D=2 String Field Theory

Abstract

In this review article, we review the recent developments in constructing string field theories that have been proposed, all of which correctly reproduce the correlation functions of two-dimensional string theory. These include: (a) free fermion field theory (b) collective string field theory (c) temporal gauge string field theory (d) non-polynomial string field theory. We analyze discrete states, the $w(\infty )$ symmetry, and correlation functions in terms of these different string field theories. We will also comment on the relationship between these various field theories. (To appear in Int. J. of Mod. Phys. Written in LATEX.)
