| Description | We generalize recent analysis of the dynamics of point particle in Horava-Lifshitz background to the case of string probe when we replace the Hamiltonian constraint of the Polyakov string with the constraint that breaks Lorentz invariance of target space-time. Then, we find corresponding Lagrangian and argue that the world sheet theory is invariant under foliation-preserving diffeomorphism. Finally, we discuss the Hamiltonian dynamics and show that this is well defined on condition that the world sheet lapse function obeys the projectability condition. |
