In this paper, the authors propose a discrete model whose continuum limit reproduces the string susceptibility and the scaling dimensions of (2, 4m) minimal superconformal models coupled to 2D supergravity. The basic assumption in their presentation is a set of super-Virasoro constraints imposed on the partition function. The authors recover the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond sectors of the theory, and they are also able to evaluate all planar loop correlation functions in the continuum limit. The authors find evidence to identify the integrable hierarchy of nonlinear equations describing the double scaling limit as a supersymmetric generalization of KP studied by Rabin.
