On the WKB quantum equivalence between diverse p-brane actions
arXiv:hep-th/0005132 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/17/16/101
Abstract
We consider an action for a closed, bosonic, p-brane, where the brane tension is not an assigned parameter but rather it is induced by a maximal rank gauge p-form. This model is classically equivalent to the Nambu--Goto/Howe-Tucker model. We investigate how this classical equivalence can be implemented in the path integral framework. For this purpose we adopt a ``first order'' integration procedure over gauge p-forms and a ``shortened'' Fadeev-Popov procedure.
