Ivan K. Kostov, Matthias Staudacher
We find the precise relationship between the loop gas method and the matrix quantum mechanics approach to two-dimensional string theory. The two systems are distinguished by differ…

Multicritical Phases of the O(n) Model on a Random Lattice
Ivan K. Kostov, Matthias Staudacher
We exhibit the multicritical phase structure of the loop gas model on a random surface. The dense phase is reconsidered, with special attention paid to the topological points $g=1/…
