Abstract:
The Nambu-Goto string model is covariantly quantized with the aid of random surface preserving the conformal symmetry of the action. As a result, the conformal factor becomes dynamical and the theory reproduces the Liouville action, which may be compared to the Polyakov model. The relationship between the two theories is shown explicitly.
