摘要
We consider an action for a closed, bosonic, p-brane, where the brane tension is not an assigned parameter but rather is induced by a maximal rank gauge p-form. This model is classically equivalent to the Nambu-Goto/Howe-Tucker model. We investigate how this classical equivalence can be implemented in the path integral framework. For this purpose we adopt a 'first-order' integration procedure over gauge p-forms and a 'shortened' Fadeev-Popov procedure.
