TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the space-time singularities of general relativity may be described by topological field theories (TFTs), a field theory which describes singular configurations of a reduced holonomy in its field space.
Abstract: Based on a study of recently proposed solution of two-dimensional black hole we argue that the space-time singularities of general relativity may be described by topological field theories (TFTs). We also argue that in general TFT is a field theory which describes singular configurations of a reduced holonomy in its field space.

TL;DR: In this article, a Montecarlo test of the Ising gauge model at finite temperature was conducted and the central charge of the underlying conformal field theory was c=1.
Abstract: We report on a high precision Montecarlo test of the three dimensional Ising gauge model at finite temperature. The string tension $\sigma$ is extracted from the expectation values of correlations of Polyakov lines. Agreement with the string tension extracted from Wilson loops is found only if the quantum fluctuations of the flux tube are properly taken into account. The central charge of the underlying conformal field theory is c=1.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained the disk amplitudes of tachyons in two-dimensional open string theories (two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to conformal field theories) using the continuum Liouville field approach.
Abstract: Disk amplitudes of tachyons in two-dimensional open string theories (two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to $c \leq 1$ conformal field theories) are obtained using the continuum Liouville field approach. The structure of momentum singularities is different from that of sphere amplitudes and is more complicated. It can be understood by factorizations of the amplitudes with the tachyon and the discrete states as intermediate states.
