Abstract
The Parisi-Marinari suggestion to treat 2d quantum gravity as ground state of the 1d supersymmetric string is elaborated in some detail. The third order linear ordinary differential equation describing in the double scaling limit the distribution of eigenvalues of the random matrix (i.e., the Liouville field) is derived and studied numerically. Unlike the Painlevé equation, our equation leads to continuous spectrum; however, the nonperturbative effects display themselves as quantum oscillations on top of smooth WKB distribution. Nonperturbative solution is free of any ambiguities.
