Asymptotic Freedom and Dirichlet String Theory, UR-1288, ER-40685-737

Zhu Yang

Fixed angle scattering at high energy in a string theory with boundaries satisfying Dirichlet conditions (Dirichlet strings) in is shown to have logarithmic dependence on ene…

A Note on ``Anomalous" Chiral Gauge Theories

Zhu Yang

We show that, the lattice regularization of chiral gauge theories proposed by Kaplan, when applied to a (2+1)-dimensional domain wall, produces a (1+1)-dimensional theory at low en…

High Temperature Partition Function of the Rigid String

Joseph Polchinski, Zhu Yang

We find that the high temperature limit of the free energy per unit length for the rigid string agrees dimensionally with that of the QCD string (unlike the Nambu-Goto string). The…

A Possible Black Hole Background in c=1 Matrix Model

Zhu Yang

We propose a new space-time interpretation for c=1 matrix model with potential $V(x)=-x^{2}/2-\m^{2}/2x^{2}$. It is argued that this particular potential corresponds to a black hol…

A Remark on Conformal Anomaly and Extrinsic Geometry of Random Surfaces

Zhu Yang

In low dimensions, conformal anomaly has profound influence on the critical behavior of random surfaces with extrinsic curvature rigidity $1/\a$. We illustrate this by making a sma…

Effective Superstrings

Zhu Yang

We generalize the method of quantizing effective strings proposed by Polchinski and Strominger to superstrings. The Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz string is different from the Green-Schwarz…
