We find classical solutions of two dimensional noncritical string theory which give rise to geometries with spacelike boundaries, similar to spacetimes with cosmological event horizons. In the c=1 matrix model, these solutions have a representation as simple time dependent configurations. We obtain the causal structure of the resulting spacetimes. Using the macroscopic loop transform, we probe the form of the tachyon condensate in the asymptotic regions.

  1. Fate of "Space-like singularities" in $c=1$ Matrix Model

    Space-like singularities in the c=1 matrix model are artifacts of the double scaling limit; beyond it, Fermi surface folds proliferate and the coarse-grained phase space density relaxes to equilibrium via a universal ...
