Weyl Anomalies of Strings in Temporal Gauge
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to matters in the temporal gauge, using the Polyakov path integral. We show that the integration over the metric can be explicitly performed under some plausible assumptions. We also discuss that the critical dimensions in string theory may not be determined in the temporal gauge.

Gauge symmetries and holographic anomalies of Chern-Simons and transgression AdS gravity
We review the issue of gauge and gravitational anomalies with backgrounds, offering a new outlook on some aspects of these questions. We compute the holographic anomalies of hypothetical theories dual, in the sense of the AdS-CFT correspondence, to Chern-Simons AdS gravity. Those anomalies are either gauge anomalies, associated to the AdS gauge group of the theory, or diffeomorphism anomalies, ...
متن کاملSuper Weyl Anomalies in the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Anomalies of N = (4, 4) superconformal field theories coupled to a conformal supergravity background in two dimensions are computed by using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We find that Weyl, axial gauge and super Weyl transformations are anomalous, while general coordinate, local Lorentz, vector gauge and local super transformations are not. The coefficients of the anomalies show that the supercon...
متن کاملWorldsheet Covariant Path Integral Quantization of Strings
We discuss a covariant functional integral approach to the quantization of the bosonic string. In contrast to approaches relying on non-covariant operator regularizations, interesting operators here are true tensor objects with classical transformation laws, even on target spaces where the theory has a Weyl anomaly. Since no implicit noncovariant gauge choices are involved in the definition of ...
متن کاملA Large-D Weyl Invariant String Model in Anti-de Sitter Space
Strings propagating in AdSD+1 are made Weyl invariant to leading order in large D by a ghost-matter coupling that preserves the Poincaré symmetry of the boundary. It has been proposed [1] [2] that Wilson loops for gauge theories in flat space with coordinates X i are described by strings in a target space with metric of the form ds = dφ + z(φ) D
متن کاملζ-function calculation of the Weyl determinant for two-dimensional non-abelian gauge theories in a curved background and its W-Z-W terms
Using a cohomological characterization of the consistent and the covariant Lorentz and gauge anomalies, derived from the complexification of the relevant algebras, we study in d = 2 the definition of the Weyl determinant for a non-abelian theory with Riemannian background. We obtain two second order operators that produce, by means of ζ-function regularization, respectively the consistent and t...
