We propose random matrix models which have N=1/2 supersymmetry in zero dimension. The supersymmetry breaks down spontaneously. It is shown that the double scaling limit can be defined in these models and the breakdown of the supersymmetry remains in the continuum limit. The exact non-trivial partition functions of the string theories corresponding to these matrix models are also obtained.

The double scaling limit of a new class of the multi-matrix models proposed in Ref. 1, which possess the W-symmetry at the discrete level, is investigated in detail. These models are demonstrated to fall into the same universality class as the standard multi-matrix models. In particular, the transformation of the W-algebra at the discrete level into the continuum one of the papers2 is proposed and the corresponding partition functions compared. All calculations are demonstrated in full in the first nontrivial case of W(3)-constraints.

We propose a discrete model whose continuum limit reproduces the string susceptibility and the scaling dimensions of (2, 4m) minimal superconformal models coupled to 2D supergravity. The basic assumption in our presentation is a set of super-Virasoro constraints imposed on the partition function. We recover the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond sectors of the theory, and we are also able to evaluate all planar loop correlation functions in the continuum limit. We find evidence to identify the integrable hierarchy of nonlinear equations describing the double scaling limit as a supersymmetric generalization of KP studied by Rabin.

The radius dependence of partition functions is explicitly evaluated in the continuum field theory of a compactified boson, interacting with two-dimensional quantum gravity (noncritical string) on Riemann surfaces for the first few genera. The partition function for the torus is found to be a sum of terms proportional to R and 1/R. This is in agreement with the result of a discretized version (matrix models), but is quite different from the critical string. The supersymmetric case is also explicitly evaluated.
