2D String Theory Coupled to Quantum Gravity
Abstract
We consider self-avoiding Nambu-Goto open strings on a random surface. We have shown that the partition function of such a string theory can be calculated exactly. The string susceptibility for the disk is evaluated to be -12. We also consider modifications of the Nambu-Goto action which are exactly soluble on a random surface.
