The Invariant Charges of the Nambu-Goto String Theory: Quantization of Non-Additive Composition Laws

arXiv:hep-th/0206061 · doi:10.1142/S0217751X04016957

Abstract

We examine and implement the concept of non-additive composition laws in the quantum theory of closed bosonic strings moving in (3+1)-dimensional Minkowski space. Such laws supply exact selection rules for the merging and splitting of closed strings.
