Kleinian Singularities and the Ground Ring of C=1 String Theory

Journal Nucl.Phys. B395 (1993) 144-166
AbstractWe investigate the nature of the ground ring of c=1 string theory at the special A-D-E points in the c=1 moduli space associated to discrete subgroups of SU(2). The chiral ground rings at these points are shown to define the A-D-E series of singular varieties introduced by Klein. The non-chiral ground rings relevant to closed-string theory are 3 real dimensional singular varieties obtained as U(1) quotients of the Kleinian varieties. The unbroken symmetries of the theory at these points are the volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of these varieties. The theory of Kleinian singularities has a close relation to that of complex hyperKahler surfaces, or gravitational instantons. We speculate on the relevance of these instantons and of self-dual gravity in c=1 string theory.
