Description

Two dimensional induced quantum gravity is analyzed. By the use of light-cone gauge the authors derive a gravitational analogue of the Wess-Zumino action and discover its amazing connection with SL(2,R) current algebra. The latter permits them to find differential equations for the correlation functions
