Stationary Rotating Strings as Relativistic Particle Mechanics

Understand

Stationary rotating strings can be viewed as geodesic motions in appropriate metrics on a two-dimensional space.

• We obtain all solutions describing stationary rotating strings in flat spacetime as an application.
• These rotating strings have infinite length with various wiggly shapes.
• Averaged value of the string energy, the angular momentum and the linear momentum along the string are discussed.
