The Runkel-Watts string
Mattia Biancotto, Lorenz Eberhardt, Victor A. Rodriguez +1
We introduce and solve a new family of two-dimensional string theories obtained by coupling Liouville CFT to the generalized Runkel-Watts CFT. By taking an appropriate limit of the…
strings as a matrix integral
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Victor A. Rodriguez
We study the perturbative -matrix of the string and show that it admits a description in terms of a double-scaled (0+0)-dimensional matrix integral based on the spectral c…
Asymptotic bootstrap for unitary matrix integrals at complex coupling
David Berenstein, João Rodrigues, Victor A. Rodriguez
We apply an asymptotic bootstrap estimate method to the non-perturbative study of unitary matrix integrals. The method combines exact recursion relations with asymptotic control of…
ADE Minimal Strings and Multi-Matrix Duals
Victor A. Rodriguez, Mykhaylo Usatyuk, Zi-Yue Wang
We revisit ADE minimal string theories, focusing on the D- and E-series minimal models coupled to Liouville theory. Unlike the A-series, whose duals are solvable two-matrix models,…
Goldilocks and the bootstrap
David Berenstein, Victor A. Rodriguez
We study simplified bootstrap problems for probability distributions on the infinite line and the circle. We show that the rapid convergence of the bootstrap method for problems on…
The complex Liouville string: worldsheet boundaries and non-perturbative effects
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Beatrix Mühlmann +1
We investigate general observables of the complex Liouville string with worldsheet boundaries. We develop a universal formalism that reduces such observables to ordinary closed str…
