The exact quantum integrability problem of the membrane is investigated. It is found that the spherical membrane moving in flat target spacetime backgrounds is an exact quantum integrable system for a particular class of solutions of the light-cone gauge equations of motion : a dimensionally-reduced $SU(\infty)$ Yang-Mills theory to one temporal dimension. Crucial ingredients are the exact integrability property of the $3D~SU(\infty)$ continuous Toda theory and its associated dimensionally…

Black holes as quantum membranes
Abstract We propose a quantum description of black holes. The degrees of freedom to be quantized are identified with the microscopic degrees of freedom of the horizon, and their dynamics is governed,
QUANTIZING HIGHER-SPIN STRING THEORIES
• Physics
• 1995
In this paper, we examine the conditions under which a higher-spin string theory can be quantized. The quantizability is crucially dependent on the way in which the matter currents are realized at

Abstract We present a new form of quantum electrodynamics where the photons are composites made out of zero-dimensional scalar “primitives”. The role of the local gauge symmetry is taken over by an

Critical and non-critical W_{2,4} strings

Nilpotent BRST operators for higher-spin $W_{2,s}$ strings, with currents of spins 2 and $s$, have recently been constructed for $s=4$, 5 and 6. In the case of $W_{2,4}$, this operator can be
