The reduced covariant phase space quantization of the three dimensional Nambu - Goto string
نویسنده
چکیده
The reduced covariant phase space associated with the three-dimensional Euclidean Nambu-Goto action can be identified, via the Enneper-Weierstrass representation of minimal surfaces, with the space of complex analytic functions plus three translational zero modes. The symplectic structure induced trough the Enneper-Weierstrass map can be explicitly computed. Quantization is then straightforward, yielding as a result a target-space Euclidean-invariant, positive-definite, two-dimensional quantum field theory. The physical states are shown to correspond with particles states of integer spin and arbitrary mass.

Using a strongly covariant formalism given by Carter for the deformations dynamics of p-branes in a curved background and a covariant and gauge invariant geometric structure constructed on the corresponding Witten’s phase space, we identify the canonical variables for Dirac-Nambu-Goto [DNG] and Gauss-Bonnet [GB] system in string theory. Future extensions of the present results are outlined.
متن کاملDeformation dynamics and the Gauss-Bonnet topological term in string theory
We show that there exist a nontrivial contribution on the Witten covariant phase space when the GaussBonnet topological term is added to the Dirac-Nambu Goto action describing strings, because of the geometry of deformations is modified, and on such space we construct a symplectic structure. Future extensions of the present results are outlined.
