| From Matrix Models to Gaussian Molecules and the Einstein-Hilbert Action |
| Speaker: | Manfred Herbst (Siemens Advanta) |
| Abstract: | A matrix model on a D-dimensional Riemannian manifold is introduced, whose free energy is related to the physics of Gaussian molecules and shown to result in the Einstein-Hilbert action with cosmological constant. The gravitational and the cosmological constants are both formally determined to all orders in the string perturbation expansion and expressed in terms of graph combinatorics. |
