Quantization of the bosonic string around the classical, perturbative vacuum is not consistent for
spacetime dimensions 2 < d < 26. Recently we have showed that at large d there is another so-
called
mean-field vacuum. Here we extend this mean-field calculation to finite d and show that the
corresponding mean-field vacuum is stable under quadratic fluctuations for 2 < d < 26. We point out the
analogy with the two-dimensional O (N)-symmetric sigma-model, where the 1/N-vacuum is very close
to the real vacuum state even for finite N, in contrast to the perturbative vacuum.

1. Introduction
The action of the Nambu–Goto string is the area of the string
world sheet. It is highly nonlinear in the embedding-space coordi-
nates.
Making use of diffeomorphism invariance and fixing a gauge
makes the action quadratic but nonlinearities are now hidden in
the dependence of the cutoff on the metric induced at the world
sheet.
If
one uses the Polyakov formulation [1] of string theory, the
embedding-space coordinates and the intrinsic world sheet metric
are independent. The action is quadratic in the embedding-space
coordinates and in the path integral one can in principle perform
the integration over these coordinates. The dependence of this part
of the path integral on the world sheet metric is determined by
the conformal anomaly. In the conformal gauge this leads to the
celebrated
Liouville action whose solution [2] about the classical
(perturbative) vacuum is consistent only for d ≤ 2. For 2 < d < 26
the
solution is not real which may indicate an instability of the
vacuum.
In
the work [3] we constructed another vacuum state of the
Nambu–Goto string by introducing an independent intrinsic metric
ρ

and the corresponding Lagrange multiplier λ

and then inte-

and λ

which do not
fluctuate in the mean-field approximation that becomes exact at
large d. A vacuum state can be found by minimizing the effective

action and it is a genuine quantum state because we have taken
into account the quantum fluctuations of the target-space coordi-
nates X
μ
.
This
approach is quite similar to the well-known introduction
of a Lagrange multiplier field in the two-dimensional O (N) sigma-
model.
In this model one integrates over fields
n obeying the re-
striction
n
2
= 1. One gets rid of the constraint by introducing the
Lagrange multiplier field u. After integration over
n one obtains
an effective action as a functional of u. The minimum of this ef-
fective
action determines the exact vacuum state for infinite N.
For finite N the quantum fluctuations of u have to be included,
but they are small even at N = 3. The reason is roughly speaking
that there is only one u, while the effective action is proportional
to N, i.e. parametrically large, which is what is needed for a sad-
dle
point. That is not the case for the N fields
n which fluctuate
strongly. The perturbative vacuum
n
cl
= (1, 0, ..., 0) possesses an
O (N − 1) symmetry and is far away from the genuine nonper-
turbative
O (N)-symmetric vacuum, while the mean-field vacuum
obtained via the Lagrange multiplier approach possesses the right
symmetry and is close to the exact vacuum even at finite N.
Fluctuations of u about the mean-field value are systematically
tractable within the 1/N-expansion.
In
the present Paper we construct a nonperturbative mean-field
vacuum state for the Nambu–Goto string at finite d, show that
it is energetically preferable to the perturbative classical vacuum
and discuss two possible scaling limits. We calculate the effective
action which governs fluctuations of ρ
ab
and λ
ab
about their mean-
field
values, repeating pretty much the original computation of the
conformal anomaly in Ref. [1] for the Polyakov string. Fixing the
conformal gauge we evaluate the determinants coming from path-
integration
over X
μ
and ghosts, in order to compute the effective
