Evaluation of the conformal anomaly of Polyakov's string theory by the stochastic quantization method

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
The stochastic quantization method is applied to the calculation of the conformal anomaly of Polyakov's string theory in Fujikawa's string path-integral formalism. The calculation is based on the stochastic quantization of Bose fields and Fermi fields. As a result, the standard dimension D = 26 is obtained once again.
