Abstract: | The string model with the extrinsic curvature is studied which is a gauge invariant field theory with higher order derivatives. We present an equivalent action without any higher order derivatives which keeps the gauge invariance. We point out the difficulty caused by the second class constraints in Dirac's canonical method. Following a new method for dynamical systems with second class constraints, we construct an equivalent model which has no second class constrants but as a new gauge invariance. This gauge invariance guarantees the equivalence between the original model and the new one. We show that the model can be quantized in this formalism. We find the unitarity violation of the model. |
