Flux-vacua in Two Dimensional String Theory
read the original abstract
We analyze the two dimensional type 0 theory with background RR-fluxes. Both the 0A and the 0B theory have two distinct fluxes $q$ and $\tilde q$. We study these two theories at finite temperature (compactified on a Euclidean circle of radius $R$) as a function of the fluxes, the tachyon condensate $\mu$ and the radius $R$. Surprisingly, the dependence on $q$, $\tilde q$ and $\mu$ is rather simple. The partition function is the absolute value square of a holomorphic function of $y=|q|+|\tilde q| + i \sqrt{2\alpha'} \mu$ (up to a simple but interesting correction). As expected, the 0A and the 0B answers are related by T-duality. Our answers are derived using the exact matrix models description of these systems and are interpreted in the low energy spacetime Lagrangian.

The Super Virasoro Minimal String from 3d Supergravity
The super Virasoro minimal string arises from quantizing 3d supergravity, with 0A+ and 0B+ dual to the bosonic minimal string matrix integral, 0B- to one with inverse square root singularity, and 0A- having vanishing ...
