%0 Journal Article %T On the Nonperturbative Consistency of $d=2$ String Theory %A Joseph Polchinski %J Physics %D 1994 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevLett.74.638 %X 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. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9409168v2
