String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30)

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.
