INTRODUCTION to STRING FIELD THEORY

The rest of the title is “String Field Theory.” This is the newest approach to string theory, although the older approaches are continuously developing new twists and imp rovements. The main alternative approach is the quantum mechanical

So, the Lagrangian for a particle in an electromagnetic field is given by L = 1 2 mv2 ¡Q ’+ Q c ~v ¢A~ (26) 4 Hamiltonian Formalism 4.1 The Hamiltonian for the EM-Field We know the canonical momentum from classical mechanics: pi = @L @x˙i (27) Using the Lagrangian from Eq. (26), we get pi = mvi + Q c Ai (28) The Hamiltonian is then given ...
