Quantum dynamics of a massless relativistic string. II
Adrian Patrascioiu · 1974
The massless relativistic free string is studied in the gaugeIt is found that the classical solutions include transverse and o longitudinal vibrations.The problem is treated both in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism.Different ways of quantizing the system are investigated.The path integral quantization leads to a Poincare' invariant quantum theory in any number of dimensions.
