Solution Generating in Ten Dimensional Supersymmetric Classical Yang--Mills Theories
Jean-Loup Gervais
In a recent paper (hep-th/9811108), Saveliev and the author showed that there exits an on-shell light cone gauge where the non-linear part of the field equations reduces to a (supe…
THE NEW PHYSICS OF STRONGLY COUPLED 2D GRAVITY
Jean-Loup GERVAIS
The strong coupling physics of two dimensional gravity at , , is summarized. It is based on a new set of local fields which do not preserve chirality. Thus this quant…
Introduction to Differential W-Geometry
Jean-Loup Gervais
Ideas recently put forward by Y. Matsuo and the author are summarized on the example of the simplest () generalization of two-dimensional gravity. These notes are based on lec…
Recent Progress of the Liouville Approach to 2D Gravity and its Toda (W) Generalizations
Jean-Loup Gervais
These lecture notes review current progress on the class of conformal theories which may be studied by quantizing the conformal Toda dynamics. After summarizing recent developments…
