Contribution

It presents a novel approach to formulating nonlocal particle models that are equivalent to string theories, expanding the toolkit for string background solutions.

Findings

Examples equivalent to bosonic open and closed strings

Provides a new framework for solvable string backgrounds

Establishes conformal symmetry in nonlocal particle theories

Abstract

We find nonlocal particle theories with two dimensional conformal symmetry, including examples equivalent to the bosonic open string and closed string. This work provides a new approach to construct solvable consistent backgrounds in string theory.
