%0 Journal Article %T Straight-line string in the einbein field formalism %A Yu. S. Kalashnikova %A A. V. Nefediev %J Physics %D 1997 %I arXiv %X The canonical description of the straight-line string is given in the einbein field formalism. The system is quantized and Regge spectrum is reproduced. The covariant analogue of the Newton-Wigner coordinate is found, and peculiarities of the gauge fixing in \tau-reparametrization group are discussed. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9708319v1
