Abstract: We study ZZ instanton corrections in the (2, 4k) N = 1 minimal superstring theory with the type 0B GSO projection, which becomes the type 0B N = 1 super-JT gravity in the k → ∞ limit. Each member of the (2, 4k) family of theories has two phases distinguished by the sign of the Liouville bulk cosmological constant. The worldsheet method for computing the one-loop normalization constant multiplying the instanton corrections gives an ill-defined answer in both phases. We fix these divergences using insights from string field theory and find finite, unambiguous results. Each member of the (2, 4k) family of theories is dual to a double-scaled one-matrix integral, where the double-scaling limit can be obtained starting either from a unitary matrix integral with a leading one-cut saddle point, or from a hermitian matrix integral with a leading two-cut saddle point. The matrix integral exhibits a gap-closing transition, which is the same as the double-scaled Gross-Witten-Wadia transition when k = 1. We also compute instanton corrections in the double-scaled matrix integral for all k and in both phases, and find perfect agreement with the string theory results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
