By using the non-diagonal uniform gauge for the Nambu-Goto string action we derive a gauge-fixed Hamiltonian of a square-root form for the closed string in AdS_5 x S^5 which is wound and rotating in an angular direction in S^5. From the…

It is shown that for any elastic string model with energy density $U$ and tension $T$, the divergent contribution from gravitational self interaction can be allowed for by an action renormalisation proportional to $(U-T)^2$. This formula is…

This paper proposes a novel approach to quantizing Nambu brackets in classical mechanics using operator formalism. The approach employs the ``Planck derivative'' to represent Nambu brackets, from which we derive a commutation relation for…

It is well known that a straight Nambu-Goto string is an exact solution of the equations of motion when its end moves in a circular orbit. In this paper we investigate the shape of a confining relativistic string for a general motion of its…

We derive twistorial tensionful bosonic string action by considering on the world sheet the canonical twistorial 2-form in two-twistor space. We demonstrate the equivalence of or model to two known momentum formulations of D=4 bosonic…

In this paper we examine an alternative formulation of the gauge principle in which the emphasis is shifted from the symmetry transformations to their generators. We show that the gauge principle can be entirely reformulated in terms of…

The effect of the Gaussian curvature in the rigid string action on the interquark potential is investigated. The linearized equations of motion and boundary conditions, following from the modified string action, are obtained. The equation,…

The classical linearised gravitational self interaction of a Goto-Nambu string is examined in four spacetime dimensions. Using a conveniently gauge independent tensorial treatment, the divergent part of the self-force is shown to be exactly…

We construct an action which is invariant under the foliation preserving diffeomorphism from the Einstein Hilbert action. Starting from the Einstein Hilbert action, we introduce the gauge invariance under the anisotropic rescaling by using…

We assume that a self-gravitating string is locally described by a thin tube of matter represented by a ``smoothed conical metric''. If we impose a specific constraint on the model of string then its central line obeys the Nambu-Goto…

We perform an extension of the relation between the Nambu-Goto action and qubit theory. Of course, the Cayley hyperdeterminant is the key mathematical tool in such generalization. Using the Wick rotation we find that in four dimensions such…

We supplement the string field theory action with boundary terms to make its variational principle well-posed. Central to our considerations is the violation of the stress-energy tensor conservation in non-compact CFTs due to the boundary…

It has recently been shown that the Nambu-Goto equation for a string emerges from the junction conditions in three-dimensional gravity. Holographically, gravitational junctions are dual to interfaces in conformal field theory. We…

We measure the energy levels of the excitations of the flux tube between static quark and antiquark in three-dimensional SU(2) gauge theory. Combining exponential error reduction techniques and a variational method we are able to reduce the…

We present a theorem that determines the value of the Wilson loop associated with a Nambu-Goto action which generalizes the action of the $AdS_5\times S_5$ model. In particular we derive sufficient conditions for confining behavior. We then…

The hitherto controversial proposition that a ``wiggly" Goto-Nambu cosmic string can be effectively represented by an elastic string model of exactly transonic type (with energy density $U$ inversely proportional to its tension $T$) is…

We study the general low-energy effective action on long open strings, such as confining strings in pure gauge theories. Using Lorentz invariance, we find that for a string of length R, the leading deviation from the Nambu-Goto energy…

We propose a variant formulation of Hamiltonian systems by the use of variables including redundant degrees of freedom. We show that Hamiltonian systems can be described by extended dynamics whose master equation is the Nambu equation or…

The effective action of string theory on a spacetime manifold with boundary has both bulk and boundary terms. We propose that both bulk and boundary actions, may be found by imposing the effective action to be invariant under the gauge…
