- Title: The Rough with the Smooth of the Light Cone String
- Authors: Norbert Dragon and Florian Oppermann
- Abstract summary: We show that on massless states the operator R is inconsistent with a unitary representation of SO(D-1).
If the massless states of the light cone string admit R then they do not admit a unitary representation of the SO(D-1) of the Poincar'e group.

- Abstract: The polynomials in the generators of a unitary representation of the
Poincar\'e group constitute an algebra which maps the dense subspace S of
smooth, rapidly decreasing wavefunctions to itself. This mathematical result is
highly welcome to physicists, who previously just assumed their algebraic
treatment of unbounded operators be justified. The smoothness, however, has the
side effect that a rough operator R, which does not map a dense subspace of S
to itself, has to be shown to allow for some other dense domain which is mapped
to itself both by R and all generators. Otherwise their algebraic product,
their concatenation, is not defined.
Canonical quantization of the light cone string postulates operators -i X^1
and P^- = (P^0 - P^z)/2 and as their commutator the multiplicative operator R =
P^1/(P^0 + P^z). This is not smooth but rough on the negative z-axis of
massless momentum.
Using only the commutation relations of P^m with the generators -i M_iz of
rotations in the P^i-P^z-plane we show that on massless states the operator R
is inconsistent with a unitary representation of SO(D-1). This makes the
algebraic determination of the critical dimension, D=26, of the bosonic string
meaningless: if the massless states of the light cone string admit R then they
do not admit a unitary representation of the subgroup SO(D-1) of the Poincar\'e
group.
With analogous arguments we show: Massless multiplets are inconsistent with a
translation group of the spatial momentum which is generated by a self-adjoint
spatial position operator X.
