Classical string profile for a class of DDF amplitudes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-11-11 v2

Abstract

In the critical bosonic string theory, we explicitly evaluate the three point scattering amplitude at tree level, of a photon with two massive higher spins. The massive excitations belong to states of the form Ar1s1Ar2s2A_{-r_1}^{s_1} A_{-r_2}^{s_2} where AnA_{-n} is a DDF creation operator. Next, we take the infinite ``spin'' limit to arrive at the classical string dynamics. We find a rotating ``floppy'' string lying mostly on a plane which develops a transverse kink.
