Minimal String Theory
Nathan Seiberg, David Shih
We summarize recent progress in the understanding of minimal string theory, focusing on the worldsheet description of physical operators and D-branes. We review how a geometric int…
Exact vs. Semiclassical Target Space of the Minimal String
Juan Maldacena, Gregory Moore, Nathan Seiberg +1
We study both the classical and the quantum target space of (p,q) minimal string theory, using the FZZT brane as a probe. By thinking of the target space as the moduli space of FZZ…
Annulus Amplitudes and ZZ Branes in Minimal String Theory
David Kutasov, Kazumi Okuyama, Jongwon Park +2
We study the annulus amplitudes of (p,q) minimal string theory. Focusing on the ZZ-FZZT annulus amplitude as a target-space probe of the ZZ brane, we use it to confirm that the ZZ…
Branes, Rings and Matrix Models in Minimal (Super)string Theory
Nathan Seiberg, David Shih
We study both bosonic and supersymmetric (p,q) minimal models coupled to Liouville theory using the ground ring and the various branes of the theory. From the FZZT brane partition…
