This yields a solution that corresponds to taking the original string tension to zero. The limit reproduces ordinary Minkowski space except for a delta-like singularity along the string. We study the field content and the energy momentum tensor.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-03-26T14:04:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "iib string theory", "tensionless string backgrounds", "limit reproduces ordinary minkowski space", "iib supergravity theory", "energy momentum tensor" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "IOP", "journal": "Class.
