Point-Like Interactions in String Theory Induced by 2-D Topological Gravity

Abstract

We consider a string theory with two types of strings with geometric interaction. We show that the theory contains strings with constant Dirichlet boundary condition and those strings are glued together by 2-d topological gravity with macroscopic boundaries. A light-cone string field theory is given and the theory has interactions to all orders.
