Quantum effects for extrinsic geometry of strings via the generalized Weierstrass representation

arXiv:hep-th/9810209 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(98)01412-9

Abstract

The generalized Weierstrass representation for surfaces in is used to study quantum effects for strings governed by Polyakov-Nambu-Goto action. Correlators of primary fields are calculated exactly in one-loop approximation for the pure extrinsic Polyakov action. Geometrical meaning of infrared singularity is discussed. The Nambu-Goto and spontaneous curvature actions are treated perturbatively.
