Key points

  • It analyzes the Hilbert space of two-dimensional quantum gravity with a positive cosmological constant using a matrix model.
  • It treats both the Wheeler-DeWitt equation and the path-integral perspective, and discusses their differences.
  • It explicitly computes the corrections that nontrivial topology contributes to the path-integral wavefunction.
  • It presents explicit results up to genus 6 and shows an analogy with topological gravity in the large-volume limit.
  • It names the double-scaling limit of the pure-gravity matrix model a 'closed matricial world'.
