Abstract:
New loop equations for all genera in c=12c = \frac{1}{2} non-critical string theory are constructed. Our loop equations include two types of loops, loops with all Ising spins up (+ loops) and those with all spins down ( - loops). The loop equations generate an algebra which is a certain extension of W3W_3 algebra and are equivalent to the W3W_3 constraints derived before in the matrix-model formulation of 2d gravity. Application of these loop equations to construction of Hamiltonian for c=12c = \frac{1}{2} string field theory is considered.
