Abstract:
Classical and quantum theory of relativistic string with point masses at the ends
is considered. Solutions of dynamic equations are found for a class of motions, for
which the parameter of time evolution $\tau$ is proportional to the proper time of each of
particles at the ends of the string. In this case solution of the linear boundary problem
is expressed in terms of the Fourier series. Restrictions on the Fourier amplitudes
which follow from the orthogonal gauge conditions, are very different from the conditions
for free string. The mass, momentum and angular momentum of the system
are evaluated.
