TL;DR

This paper applies string and membrane theories to model micro-organism swimming, revealing connections to fluid dynamics, phase transitions, and gravity, and offering insights into different swimming mechanisms based on shape space singularities.

Contribution

It introduces a novel theoretical framework combining string and membrane theories with fluid dynamics to analyze micro-organism swimming behaviors.

Findings

Usefulness of N-point Reggeon (membranic) amplitudes and phase transitions

Relation between red tide phenomena and Einstein gravity generation

Abstract

When the swimming of micro-organisms is viewed from the string and membrane theories coupled to the velocity field of the fluid, a number of interesting results are derived; 1) importance of the area (or volume) preserving algebra, 2) usefulness of the $N$-point Reggeon (membranic) amplitudes, and of the gas to liquid transition in case of the red tide issues, 3) close relation between the red tide issue and the generation of Einstein gravity, and 4) possible understanding of the three different swimming ways of micro-organisms from the singularity structure of the shape space.
