The partition function of 2d string theory
Robbert Dijkgraaf, Moore, G., M. Ronen Plesser · arXiv (Cornell University) · 1992
We derive a compact and explicit expression for the generating functional of all correlation functions of tachyon operators in 2D string theory. This expression makes manifest relations of the $c=1$ system to KP flow and $W_{1+\infty}$ constraints. Moreover we derive a Kontsevich-Penner integral representation of this generating functional.
