A quasi-Lie bialgebra formulation of the Pohlmeyer-Rehren Poisson algebra

Abstract

We present a quasi-Lie bialgebra (QLBA) quantization problem which comes from an algebraic reformulation of the Nambu-Goto string theory and invariant charges by Pohlmeyer and Rehren. This QLBA structure depends on a symmetric bivector (coming from a Minkowski metric) and is built on the free Lie algebra on a finite dimensional vector space. We solve this problem when the bivector has rank 1 or 2.
