Title:
The goldfish and the string
Speaker:
Abstract:
The classical motion of a string in AdS_3 spacetime is governed by the generalized sinh-Gordon theory. This theory has singular soliton solutions which correspond to cusps on the string. In this talk, I examine string solutions where such cusps are classically pair-produced. For the calculations, I use an exact discretization of the equation of motion. If time permits, I will also discuss some recent results.
