Open bosonic string in the proper-time gauge
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6493871
A path integral formulation of the first quantization of an open bosonic string in the proper-time gauge is discussed. The string propagator given by a path integral a la Polyakov, is evaluated in the proper-time gauge. The evaluated propagator uniquely determines the action for the free string field in the second quantized theory. The BRST invariant action for a free bosonic string field proposed by Siegel is shown to emerge naturally. 39 refs.
