Continuous spin particles from a string theory
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been shown that the massless irreducible representations of the Poincaré group with continuous spin can be obtained from a classical point particle action which admits a generalization to a conformally invariant string action. The continuous spin string action is quantized in the BRST formalism. We show that the vacuum carries a continuous spin representation of the Poincaré group and that the spectrum is ghost-free.

Greybody Factors for Black Holes in Four Dimensions: Particles with Spin
We compute the emission spectrum of minimally coupled particles with spin that are Hawking radiated from four dimensional black holes in string theory. For a range of the black hole parameters the result has a product structure that may be interpreted in terms of the respective rightand left-moving thermal correlation functions of an effective string model. For spin-one and spin-two particles a...
متن کاملContinuous spin and tensionless strings
A classical action is proposed which upon quantisation yields massless particles belonging to the continuous spin representation of the Poincaré group. The string generalisation of the action is identical to the tensionless extrinsic curvature action proposed by Savvidy. We show that the BRST quantisation of the string action gives a critical dimension of 28. The constraints result in a number ...
متن کاملEnergy Spectra of spinning particles around spinning strings in
Riemannian Killing conserved currents are used to find the energy spectra of classical spinning particles moving around a spinning string in Einstein-Cartan (EC) theory of gravity. It is shown that a continuos spectrum is obtained for planar open orbits while a discrete spectrum is obtained for circular planar orbits. A spin-spin effect between the spin of the test particle and the spin of the ...

String (membrane) theory could be considered as degenerate case of relativistic continuous media theory. The paper presents models of media, which are continuous distributions of interacting membranes, strings or particles.

Riemannian Killing conserved currents are used to find the energy spectra of classical spinning particles moving around a spinning string in Einstein-Cartan (EC) theory of gravity. It is shown that a continuos spectrum is obtained for planar open orbits and the energy shift of spectrum is obtained for circular planar orbits. A spin-spin effect between the spin of the test particle and the spin ...
