Universal behaviour of interfaces in 2 d and dimensional reduction of Nambu - Goto strings ∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a simple effective model for the description of interfaces in 2d statistical models, based on the first-order treatment of an action corresponding to the length of the interface. The universal prediction of this model for the interface free energy agrees with the result of an exact calculation in the case of the 2d Ising model. This model appears as a dimensional reduction of the Nambu-Goto stringy description of interfaces in 3d, i.e., of the capillary wave model.

Nambu–Goto Strings from SU( N ) Born-Infeld model
The spectrum of quenched Yang-Mills theory in the large–N limit displays strings and higher dimensional extended objects. The effective dynamics of string-like excitations is encoded into area preserving Schild action. In this letter, we bridge the gap between SU(N ) gauge models and fully reparametrization invariant Nambu–Goto string models by introducing an extra matrix degree of freedom in t...
متن کاملThe Nambu – Goto Theory of Closed Bosonic Strings Moving in 1 + 3 – Dimensional Minkowski Space
A relevant part of the quantum algebra of observables for the closed bosonic strings moving in 1 + 3–dimensional Minkowski space is presented in the form of generating relations involving still one, as yet undetermined, real free parameter.
متن کاملNon-divergence of Gravitational Self Interactions for Goto-nambu Strings
The classical linearised gravitational self interaction of a Goto-Nambu string is examined in four spacetime dimensions. Using a conveniently gauge independent tensorial treatment, the divergent part of the self-force is shown to be exactly zero. This is due to cancelation by a contribution that was neglected in the previous treatments. This result has implications for many applications. Relati...
متن کاملThe Invariant Charges of the Nambu–Goto String Theory: Quantization of Non-Additive Composition Laws
We examine and implement the concept of non-additive composition laws in the quantum theory of closed bosonic strings moving in (3 + 1)-dimensional Minkowski space. Such laws supply exact selection rules for the merging and splitting of closed strings.
متن کاملGeneralized Raychaudhuri Equations for Strings and Membranes
A recent generalisation of the Raychaudhuri equations for timelike geodesic congruences to families of D dimensional extremal, timelike, Nambu–Goto surfaces embedded in an N dimensional Lorentzian background is reviewed. Specialising to D = 2 (i.e the case of string worldsheets) we reduce the equation for the generalised expansion θa, (a = σ, τ) to a second order, linear, hyperbolic partial dif...
