Quantization of strings without anomaly in spacetime of arbitrary dimensionality

Abstract

New method of C-symmetric quantization, strongly following to the restrictions of discrete symmetries of systems, is applied to quantization of closed boson strings. It is shown that the chiral symmetry restrictions exclude a zero-point energy of the string modes. It then leads to the theory of the relativistic strings without conformal anomaly, which can be quantized consistently in a spacetime of arbitrary dimensionality.
