Non-Critical Strings in Robertson-Walker Space Time

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-02-03 v2

Abstract

I consider a D+1 dimensional nonlinear σ\sigma model based on a possible interpretation of the Liouville field as a physical time. The Weyl invariance of this theory gives us restrictions for the background fields and the parameters of the theory, e.g.\ for trivial background one obtains the known regions for the dimension of the space-time (\leq1 or \geq25). For a Robertson-Walker space time a special solution of these equations is discussed.
