Exact solution of higher-derivative conformal theory and minimal models

I investigate the two-dimensional four-derivative conformal theory that emerges from the Nambu-Goto string after the path-integration over all fields but the metric tensor. Using the method of singular products which accounts for tremendous cancellations in perturbation theory, I show the (intellige...
