✦ Synopsis

Two dimensional induced quantum gravity is analyzed. By the use of light-cone gauge we derive a gravitational analogue of the Wess-Zumino action and discover its amazing connection with SL (2, ℝ) current algebra. The latter permits us to find differential equations for the correlation functions.
