BRST quantization is carried out for a model of p-branes with second class constraints. After extension of the phase space the constraint algebra coincides with the one of null string when p=1. It is shown that in this case one can or can not obtain critical dimension for the null string, depending on the choice of the operator ordering and corresponding vacuum states. When p>1, operator orderings leading to critical dimension in the p=1 case are not allowed. Admissable orderings give no restrictions on the dimension of the embedding space-time. Finally, a generalization to supersymmetric null branes is proposed.

  1. BRST quantization of Carroll-Weyl gauged null strings

    hep-th 2026-08 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    In the highest-weight representation, the Carroll-Weyl null string is anomalous for every target-space dimension because its three anomaly coefficients demand D=27, D=6, and D=4 simultaneously.
