Relativistic strings

This book provides a systematic, concise, and broad covering of the mathematical fundamentals of the relativistic Nambu-Goto string model. Among the topics discussed are the classification of string singularities, exotic solutions, and the diverse approaches to nonanomalous quantization of the Nambu-Goto model in the spacetime of d=4 physical dimension. A special chapter is devoted to modern mathematical modeling and computer visualization technologies with which many of the results presented in the book were achieved. The book will be of interest and value to a broad spectrum of researchers, faculty, and undergraduate and graduate students specializing in the fields of applied mathematics, theoretical physics, and mathematical modelling.
