Abstract

The field theory of free strings is analyzed in gauges in which the two-dimensional metric along the string worldsheet remains as a dynamical variable. Hamiltonian-based BRST methods are used. The cohomology of the complete BRST charge is computed. Equivalence with the usual approach is explicitly established
