[Théorie des cordes minimales]
Nous résummons les progrès récents dans la compréhension de la théorie minimale des cordes, en se concentrant sur la description des opérateurs physiques et des D-branes. Nous passons en revue comment une interprétation géomètrique de la théorie minimale des cordes émerge naturellement de l'étude des D-branes. Cette représentation géométrique simple associe plusieurs propriétés autrement indépendantes de la théorie minimale des cordes, et conduit directement à une dérivation à partir de la théorie de surface d'univers du modèle de matrice dual.
We summarize recent progress in the understanding of minimal string theory, focusing on the worldsheet description of physical operators and D-branes. We review how a geometric interpretation of minimal string theory emerges naturally from the study of the D-branes. This simple geometric picture ties together many otherwise unrelated features of minimal string theory, and it leads directly to a worldsheet derivation of the dual matrix model.
