5 Mar 2004 | Journal: | Phys.Rev. D70 (2004) 026006 | Subject: | hep-th | Abstract: | A master action for bosonic strings and membranes, interpolating between the Nambu--Goto and Polyakov formalisms, is discussed. The role of the gauge symmetries vis-à-vis reparametrization symmetries of the various actions is analyzed by a constrained Hamiltonian approach. This analysis reveals the difference between strings and higher branes, which is essentially tied to a degree of freedom count. The cosmological term for membranes follows naturally in this scheme. The conncetion of our aproach with the Arnowitt--Deser--Misner representation in general relativity is illuminated. | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/0403065 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
