Quantum effects for extrinsic geometry of strings via the generalized Weierstrass representation

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The generalized Weierstrass representation for surfaces in R3\Bbb{R}^{3} is used to study quantum effects for strings governed by Polyakov-Nambu-Goto action. Correlators of primary fields are calculated exactly in one-loop approximation for the pure extrinsic Polyakov action. Geometrical meaning of infrared singularity is discussed. The Nambu-Goto and spontaneous curvature actions are treated perturbatively.
