Quantum 3D Tensionless String in Light-cone Gauge

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-15 v4

Abstract

We discuss the quantization of a tensionless closed string in light-cone gauge. It is known that by using a Hamiltonian BRST scheme the tensionless p-branes have no Lorentz anomaly in any space-time dimensions and no anomaly of space-time conformal symmetry in two dimensions. In this paper, we show that tensionless 3d strings in light-cone gauge also have no anomaly of space-time conformal symmetry. We also study the spectrum of a tensionless 3d closed string.
