String Baryon Model "Triangle": Hypocycloidal Solutions

Abstract

The considered model of baryon consists of three pointlike masses (quarks) bounded pairwise by relativistic strings forming a curvilinear triangle. Classic analytic solutions for this model corresponding to a planar uniform rotation about the system center of mass are found and investigated. These solutions describe a rotating curve composed of segments of a hypocycloid. The curve is a curvilinear triangle or --- a more complicated configuration with a set of internal massless points moving at the speed of light. Different topological types of these motions are classified in connection with different forms of hypocycloids in zero quark mass limit. An application of these solutions to description of baryon states on the Regge trajectories is considered.
