Regularisation of Classical Self Interaction in Strings
نویسنده
چکیده
A general method of regularisation of classical self interaction in strings is extended from the electromagnetic case (for which it was originally developed) to the gravitation case, for which the result can also be represented as a renormalisation.

Non-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 کاملCancellation of Linearised Axion-dilaton Self Action Divergence in Strings
The force densities exerted on a localised material system by linearised interaction with fields of axionic and dilatonic type are shown to be describable very generally by relatively simple expressions that are well behaved for fields of purely external origin, but that will be subject to ultraviolet divergences requiring regularisation for fields arising from self interaction in submanifold s...
متن کاملMathematics and Physics of N=2 Strings
Open and closed strings with two worldsheet supersymmetries in 2+2 dimensional spacetime are reviewed in the NSR formulation. I briefly discuss their quantization, mutual and self-interactions, classical spacetime dynamics and interpretation in terms of self-dual Yang-Mills and gravity. A stringy origin of the infinite self-dual gravity hierarchy is presented. An outlook to the loop level concl...
متن کاملClassical self - dual BPS strings in d = 6 , ( 2 , 0 ) theory from afar
We show how one can get solitonic strings in a six-dimensional (2,0) supersymmetric theory by incorporating a nonlinear interaction term. We derive a zero force condition between parallel strings, and compute a metric on a moduli space which is R when the strings are far apart. When compactifying the strings on a two-torus we show that, in the limit of vanishing two-torus, one regains the modul...

At the classical level we study open bosonic strings. A generic description of string self–interactions localized at string ends is given. Self–interactions are characterized by two dimensionless coupling constants. The model is rewritten using complex Liouville fields. Using these Lorentz and reparametrization invariant variables, equations of motion get greatly simplified and reduce to some b...
