Approximating the Critical String Measure Using Dynamically Triangulated Surfaces formulation), reveals an interesting thermodynamical limit. In this limit certain singularities (i.e. critical exponents) appear, signalling a phase transition beyond which one may hope for a non-perturbative description of the theory.

These models all have one and two dimensional target spaces, a fact directly connected to their solubility. Indeed, it is easy to show that all of
