Abstract: (Elsevier)
The massless relativistic free string is studied in the gauge x 0 = τ . It is found that the classical solutions include transverse and longitudinal vibrations. The problem is treated both in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism. Different ways of quantizing the system are investigated. The path integral quantization leads to a Poincaré invariant quantum theory in any number of dimensions.References(11)
