Physical states, factorization and nonlinear structures in two-dimensional quantum gravity

Abstract: The nonlinear structures in 2D quantum gravity coupled to the

(q + 1, q)

minimal model are studied in the Liouville theory to clarify the factorization and the physical states. It is confirmed that the dressed primary states outside the minimal table are identified with the gravitational descendants. Using the discrete states of ghost number zero and one we construct the currents and investigate the Ward identities which are identified with the W and the Virasoro constraints. As nontrivial examples we derive the

L_{0}

,

L_{1}

and

W_{- 1}^{(3)}

equations exactly.

L_{n}

and

W_{n}^{(k)}

equations are also discussed. We then explicitly show the decoupling of the edge states

O_{j} (j = 0 m m o d q)

. We consider the interaction theory perturbed by the cosmological constant

O_{1}

and the screening charge

S^{+} = O_{2 q + 1}

. The formalism can be easily generalized to potential models other than the screening charge.
