Spectral Fractional Bosonic Strings: Exact Polyakov Measure and the Critical Dimension

Fractional Laplacians encode anomalous scaling and covariant nonlocal response in quantum matter and holographic boundary systems. We place the corresponding scalar spectral theory on a dynamical closed worldsheet. A metric-dependent intertwiner maps the fractional quadratic form to that of $D$ free bosons, while its z...
