Abstract

If a classical Nambu-Goto string in D dimensions is required to have Poincaré invariance in d dimensions, d<D, then new boundary conditions involving free parameters whose numbers depend on D-d are allowed. We quantize these new string theories and show that the restricted Poincaré invariance still requires D=26. However, it allows choices of free parameters such that tachyons can be eliminated from the mass spectrum if d<∼10. The new boundary conditions imply generalized Fubini-Veneziano commutation rules.
