Schild Action and Space-Time Uncertainty Principle in String Theory

Abstract

We show that the path-integral quantization of relativistic strings with the Schild action is essentially equivalent to the usual Polyakov quantization at critical space-time dimensions. We then present an interpretation of the Schild action which points towards a derivation of superstring theory as a theory of quantized space-time where the squared string scale plays the role of the minimum quantum for space-time areas. A tentative approach towards such a goal is proposed, based on a microcanonical formulation of large N supersymmetric matrix model.
