The possibility of branching processes for classical strings is investigated on the basis of the Nambu-Goto action. We parametrize the world sheet by a Riemann surface M and introduce a degenerate, semi-Riemannian metric B on M. Well-known results about the conformal group Diff(S t ) ΓDiff(S l) are

The motion of idealized inextensible strings is discussed. The equations of motion are analyzed for closed-loop con"gurations, free of body forces and open hanging strings whirling under gravity. The latter give rise to an interesting non-linear eigenvalue problem describing a spectrum of whirling m
Internal resonance mechanisms between near-commensurate longitudinal and transverse modes of a taut spatial string are identi"ed and studied using an asymptotic method, and the in#uence of material non-linearities on the resulting solutions is considered. Geometrical non-linearities couple longitudi
