Classical theory of radiating strings

Classical theory of radiating strings We calculate to first order in classical perturbaton theory the divergent part of the self-force of a radiating string coupled to gravity, an antisymmetric tensor, and a dilaton in four dimensions. While this divergence can be absorbed into a renormalization of the string tension, demanding that both it and the divergence in the energy-momentum tensor vanish forces the string to have the couplings of compactified N =1, D =10 supergravity. In effect, supersymmetry cures the classical infinities. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Physical Review D American Physical Society (APS)

Abstract

We calculate to first order in classical perturbaton theory the divergent part of the self-force of a radiating string coupled to gravity, an antisymmetric tensor, and a dilaton in four dimensions. While this divergence can be absorbed into a renormalization of the string tension, demanding that both it and the divergence in the energy-momentum tensor vanish forces the string to have the couplings of compactified N =1, D =10 supergravity. In effect, supersymmetry cures the classical infinities.
