On various aspects of extended objects

This thesis concerns classical and quantum aspects of minimal manifolds embedded in flat Minkowski space. In particular, we study the Lie algebra of diffeomorphisms on 2 dimensional compact manifolds as well as discuss singularity formation for relativistic minimal surfaces in co-dimension one. We a...
