Abstract

We present results of a high precision Monte Carlo simulation of dynamically triangulated random surfaces (up to ≈ 34,000 triangles) coupled to one scalar field (c=1). The mean square extent has been measured for different actions to test the universality of the leading term as a function of the size of the surfaces. Furthermore, the integrated 2-point correlation function for vertex operators is compared with conformal field theory and matrix model predictions.
