Abstract
We derive loop equations in a scalar matrix field theory. We
discuss their solutions in terms of simplicial string theory - the theory
describing embeddings of two-dimensional simplicial complexes into the
space-time of the matrix field theory. This relation between the loop
equations and the simplicial string theory gives further arguments that favor
one of
the statements of the paper hep-th/0407018. The statement is that there is an
equivalence between the partition function of the simplicial string theory
and the functional integral in a continuum string theory - the theory
describing embeddings of smooth two-dimensional world-sheets into the
space-time of the matrix field theory in question.
