Strings, Chains, and Ropes
Following Antman [Amer. Math. Mon., 87 (1980), pp. 359–370], we advocate a more physically realistic and systematic derivation of the wave equation suitable for a typical undergraduate course in partial differential equations. To demonstrate the utility of this derivation, three applications that follow naturally are described: strings, hanging chains, and jump ropes.
متن کاملSpiky Strings and Spin Chains
We determine spectral curves for the known spiky string solutions in AdS space in the limit of large angular momentum. We also construct generic multi-spike solutions in this limit and compute the corresponding spectral data. The resulting spectral curves precisely match those of the classical spin chain describing the dual operators in one-loop gauge theory. Our results confirm the map between...
متن کاملSelection Rules for Splitting Strings
It has been pointed out that Nielsen-Olesen vortices may be able to decay by pair production of black holes. We show that when the abelian Higgs model is embedded in a larger theory, the additional fields may lead to selection rules for this process even in the absence of fermions due to the failure of a charge quantization condition. We derive these selection rules, and apply them to two separ...
متن کاملClassical splitting of fundamental strings.
We find exact solutions of the string equations of motion and constraints describing the classical splitting of a string into two. We show that for the same Cauchy data, the strings that split have smaller action than the string without splitting. This phenomenon is already present in flat space-time. The mass, energy and momentum carried out by the strings are computed. We show that the splitt...
متن کاملHeavy hadron spectra from spin chains and strings
We study the spectrum of hadronic states made up of very massive complex scalar fields in a confining gauge theory admitting a supergravity dual background. We show that for a sub-sector of operators dual to certain spinning strings, the mass spectrum exhibits an integrable structure equal to the Heisenberg spin chain, up to an overall factor. This result is compared with the corresponding stri...
