    I What maps are considered in the Polyakov path integral?

    Recently I've came to some references on mathematical aspects on string theory that deal with the Polyakov euclidean path integral. An example is the book "Quantum Fields and Strings: A Course for Mathematicians. Volume 2", where it is stated roughly that the path integral is $$A =...

    A First order formalism of Polyakov action

    In the notes of Arutyunov, he writes down the equation of Polyakov action in what he calls a first-order formalism(equation 3.19). But here I did not understand how he got this equation. Can someone help? Moreover, can someone explain how he got the constraints in equation 3.25? And why they...

    Hi PhysicsForums, I have a pretty basic question about extracting physical parameters from lattice QCD simulations. As described in "Quantum Chromodynamics on the Lattice" by Gattringer and Lang, it seems we should be able to extract the static quark/anti-quark potential by considering the...

    A String perturbation equations from Polyakov action

    General physical perturbations of string is derived by A.Larsen and V.Frolov (arXiv:hep-th/9303001v1 1March 1993). An arbitrary string configuration is in 4-dimensional gravitational background. Starting point is Polyakov action $$ S = \int d \tau d\sigma \sqrt {-h} h^{AB} G_{AB}$$. Here is...

    A The Polyakov Action & Weyl Transformations

    The Polyakov action is invariant under Weyl transformations, that is local rescaling of the metric tensor on the world sheet. However, I don't really understand the physical meaning of this. What would it mean for the action to not have this symmetry? I also have another question concerning...

    Performing Integrations over Moduli Space for String Theory

    To prepare for a meeting I'm having with a prof in 2 weeks I've been told to compute things in string perturbation theory. During this process I have come to performing the calculation of the vacuum amplitude at one loop directly from Polyakov's action, as performed by Polchinski in 1986. I can...

    Exploring Polyakov's Action: Diffeomorphism Symmetry?

    The Polyakov action, S=\frac{1}{4\pi\alpha^\prime}\int d^2\sigma\sqrt{-h}h^{\alpha\beta}G_{ij}(X)\partial_\alpha X^i\partial_\beta X^j has the local symmetries, diffeomorphism on world sheet and the Weyl invariance. But is diffeomorphism on the target space also a symmetry? The target space...

    Diffeomorphism invariance of the Polyakov action

    [SOLVED] Diffeomorphism invariance of the Polyakov action Hi, I'm struggling with something that is quite elementary. I know that the Polyakov action is diffeomorphism invariant and Weyl invariant. Denoting the world-sheet coordinates \sigma^0 = \sigma and \sigma^1 = t and the independent...

    't Hooft - Polyakov monopole at large distance

    According to 't Hooft - Polyakov monopole solution, SO(3) is spontaneously broken down to U(1) and the unbroken mode works very well as the electromagnetic field. In this case we do not need dirac string but just some scalar field. At very large distance , the two massive gauge modes can be...

    String Theory: Nambu-Goto or Polyakov?

    Hi there, I 've recently looked at how the Nambu-Goto action of an open string can be derived from the proper area of the parameterised world-sheet, in the form of either the derivatives of space-time coordinates or the determinant of the induced metric. However, may I ask what are the...
