Abstract
We review the recent developments in the construction of string field theory in two dimensions. We analyze the bewildering number of string field theories that have been proposed, all of which correctly reproduce the correlation functions of two-dimensional string theory. These include (1) free fermion field theory, (2) collective string field theory, (3) temporal gauge string field theory and (4) nonpolynomial string field theory. We will analyze discrete states, the ω(∞) symmetry, and correlation functions in terms of these different string field theories. We will also comment on the relationship between these field theories, which is still not well understood.Keywords
