On the Nonperturbative Consistency of d=2 String Theory

Abstract

An infinite number of distinct d=1 matrix models reproduce the perturbation theory of d=2 string theory. Due to constraints of causality, however, we argue that none of the existing constructions gives a consistent nonperturbative definition of the d=2 string.
