Fock-Schwinger proper time formalism for p-branes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

The theory of the usual, constrained p-branes is embedded into a larger theory in which there is no constraints. In the latter theory the Fock-Schwinger proper time formalism is extended from point-particles to p-branes which can be considered as a points in an infinite dimensional space M. The quantization appears to be straightforward and elegant. The conventional p-brane states are particular stationary solutions to the functional Schr\"odinger equation which describes the evolution of a membrane's state with respect to the invariant evolution parameter τ\tau. It is also shown that states of a lower dimensional p-brane can be considered as particular states of a higher dimensional p-brane.
