Non-Perturbative effective Lagrangians for super-matrix models

Abstract

We discuss $d=1, {\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric matrix models and exhibit the associated $d=2$ collective field theory in the limit of dense eigenvalues. From this field theory we construct, by the addition of several new fields, a $d=2$ supersymmetric effective field theory, which reduces to the collective field theory when the new fields are replaced with their vacuum expectation values. This effective theory is Poincare invariant and contains perturbative and non-perturbative information about the associated superstrings.
