On c=1 matrix model and 2D gravity - with emphasis on chiral formalism

In this thesis, we study the relationship between the effective spacetime theory of Liouville string theory in two spacetime dimensions and the collective field of the c=1 matrix model by finding exact solutions on both sides. The correspondence between the matrix model and the effective spacetim...
