Quantizing the rotating string with massive endpoints

Abstract: We compute leading order quantum corrections to the Regge trajectory of a rotating string with massive endpoints using semiclassical methods. We expand the bosonic string action around a classical rotating solution to quadratic order in the fluctuations and perform the canonical quantization of the resulting theory. For a rotating string in D dimensions the intercept receives contributions from D − 3 transverse modes and one mode in the plane of rotation, in addition to a contribution due to the PolchinskiStro… Show more

“…is the radial excitation number. As we have shown in our more recent work [36], this is not the exact form of the quantum corrections, but it works well as a first approximation, especially considering we leave the intercept as a free parameter. Note also that we define the trajectory in terms of the orbital angular momentum and not the total one, and if there is additional spin in the hadron the intercept is shifted accordingly.…”

“…For this and other reasons, in the present work, we describe the ground state in terms of a classical solution with a helical symmetry, i.e., a symmetry under a combined time translation and global symmetry translation [1] [17] [25] [26]. In classical mechanics the two notions are precisely equivalent after a change of variables: The overall lowest-energy classical solution of the system with chemical potential is always static on general grounds of Hamiltonian mechanics; therefore after a timedependent global symmetry transformation that removes the chemical potential term from the Hamiltonian, the lowest-energy ground state with a given charge must have a helical symmetry.…”
