Membrane’s Discrete Spectrum and BRST Residual Symmetry in the Conformal Light Cone Gauge
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work we present a proof of the discretness of the spectrum for bosonic membrane, in a flat minkowski space. This may be useful to show the quantum mechanical consistence of others bosonics extended models. This proof includes the BRST residual symmetry and was directly performed over the discretized membrane model. The BRST residual invariant effective action is explicity contructed.

Light-cone Gauge for 1+1 Strings *
Explicit construction of the light-cone gauge quantum theory of bosonic strings in 1+1 spacetime dimensions reveals unexpected structures. One is the existence of a gauge choice that gives a free action at the price of propagating ghosts and a nontrivial BRST charge. Fixing this gauge leaves a U(1) Kac-Moody algebra of residual symmetry, generated by a conformal tensor of rank two and a conform...
متن کاملSuperstring in the plane-wave background with RR flux as a conformal field theory
We study the type IIB superstring in the plane-wave background with RamondRamond flux and formulate it as an exact conformal field theory in operator formalism. One of the characteristic features of the superstring in a consistent background with RR flux, such as the AdS5×S and its plane-wave limit, is that the leftand the right-moving degrees of freedom on the worldsheet are inherently coupled...
متن کاملTrivial Spectrum of Free 1+1 Light-cone Strings *
The BRST cohomology of 1+1 strings in a free light-cone gauge contains only the two-dimensional tachyon, and excludes all excited states of both matter and ghosts, including the special states that arise in the continuum conformal gauge quantization and in the c = 1 matrix models. This exclusion takes place at a very basic level, and therefore may signal some serious problems or at least unreso...
متن کاملPhysical state representations and gauge fixing in string theory
We re-examine physical state representations in the covariant quantization of bosonic string. We especially consider one parameter family of gauge fixing conditions for the residual gauge symmetry due to null states (or BRST exact states), and obtain explicit representations of observable Hilbert space which include those of the DDF states. This analysis is aimed at giving a necessary ingredien...

Canonical treatment of two dimensional gravity as an anomalous gauge theory ABSTRACT The extended phase space method of Batalin, Fradkin and Vilkovisky is applied to formulate two dimensional gravity in a general class of gauges. A BRST formulation of the light-cone gauge is presented to reveal the relationship between the BRST symmetry and the origin of SL(2, R) current algebra. From the same ...
