Free fields via canonical transformations of matter-coupled 2D dilaton gravity models
arXiv:hep-th/9704168 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.58.044010
Abstract
It is shown that the 1+1-dimensional matter-coupled Jackiw-Teitelboim model and the model with an exponential potential can be converted by means of appropriate canonical transformations into a bosonic string theory propagating on a flat target space with an indefinite signature. This makes it possible to consistently quantize these models in the functional Schroedinger representation thus generalizing recent results on CGHS theory.
