Strings in a Space with Tensor Central Charge Coordinates

Abstract

New string models in D=4 space-time extended by tensor central charge coordinates $z_{mn}$ are constructed. We use the $z_{mn}$ coordinates to generate string tension using a minimally extended string action linear in $d{z}^{mn}$. It is shown that the presence of $z_{mn}$ lifts the light-like character of the tensionless string worldsheet and the degeneracy of its induced metric. We analyse the equations of motion and find a solution of the string equations in the generalized D=(4+6)-dimensional space $X^{\mathcal{M}}=(x^m,z^{mn})$ with $z_{mn}$ describing a spin wave process. A supersymmetric version of the proposed model is formulated.
