Abstract
We verify that summing 2D DT geometries correctly reproduces the Polyakov a ction for the conformal mode, including all ghost contributions, at large v olumes. The Gaussian action is reproduced even for c(m) = 10, well into the branched polymer phase, which confirms the expectation that the DT measure is indeed correct in this regime as well (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Sc ience B.V.
