String-Inspired Gravity Coupled to Yang-Mills Fields
  String-inspired 1+1-dimensional gravity is coupled to Yang-Mills fields in the Cangemi-Jackiw gauge-theoretical formulation, based on the extended Poincar\'e group. A family of couplings, which involves metrics obtainable from the physical metric with a conformal rescaling, is considered, and the resulting family of models is investigated both at the classical and the quantum level. In particular, also using a series of Kirillov-Kostant phases, the wave functionals that solve the constraints are identified.
