Two-dimensional superstrings and the supersymmetric matrix model
John McGreevy, Sameer Murthy, Herman Verlinde
We present evidence that the supersymmetric matrix model of Marinari and Parisi represents the world-line theory of N unstable D-particles in type II superstring theory in two dime…
Classical and Quantum D-branes in 2D String Theory
John McGreevy, Joerg Teschner, Herman Verlinde
We investigate two classes of D-branes in 2-d string theory, corresponding to extended and localized branes, respectively. We compute the string emission during tachyon condensatio…
Strings from Tachyons
John McGreevy, Herman Verlinde
We propose a new interpretation of the c=1 matrix model as the world-line theory of N unstable D-particles, in which the hermitian matrix is provided by the non- abelian open strin…
