Abstract:
We propose a new type of gauge in two--dimensional quantum gravity. We investigate pure gravity in this gauge, and find that the system is reduced to quantum mechanics of loop length ll. Furthermore, we rederive the c=0c=0 string field theory, which was discovered recently. In particular, the pregeometric form of the Hamiltonian is naturally reproduced.
