The broken string in Anti-de Sitter space

The broken string in Anti-de Sitter space

Abstract This paper describes an efficient method for solving the classical string equations of motion in (2+1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime. Exact string solutions are identified that are the analogs of piecewise linear strings in flat space. They can be used to approximate any smooth strin...
