Abstract: (Elsevier)
We develop a (classical) local field theory which contains as a special solution the (classical) dual string recently discussed by Goddard, Goldstone, Rebbi and Thorn. The basic field is a gauge field F μν ( x ), and the Lagrangian is given by ( −1 2α' )√F 2 . We treat the case of closed strings (corresponding to the Shapiro-Virasoro model) where F μν can be expressed in terms of potentials A μ . Quantization of F μν is briefly discussed, but a more thorough discussion is postponed.
