Abstract: (APS)
We provide a formalism to calculate the cubic interaction vertices of the stable string bit model, in which string bits have s spin degrees of freedom but no space to move. With the vertices, we obtain a formula for one-loop self-energy, i.e., the O(1/N2) correction to the energy spectrum. A rough analysis shows that, when the bit number M is large, the ground state one-loop self-energy ΔEG scale as M5-s/4 for even s and M4-s/4 for odd s. Particularly, in s=24, we have ΔEG∼1/M, which resembles the Poincaré invariant relation of 1+1 dimension P-∼1/P+. We calculate analytically the one-loop correction for the ground energies with M=3 and s=1, 2. We then numerically confirm that the large M behavior holds for s≤4 cases.
