On Semiclassical Limits of String States
arXiv:0706.0731 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2007.09.005
Abstract
We explore the relation between classical and quantum states in both open and closed (super)strings discussing the relevance of coherent states as a semiclassical approximation. For the closed string sector a gauge-fixing of the residual world-sheet rigid translation symmetry of the light-cone gauge is needed for the construction to be possible. The circular target-space loop example is worked out explicitly.
