We study semiclassical spiky strings in de Sitter space and the corresponding Regge trajectories, generalizing the analysis in anti-de Sitter space. In particular we demonstrate that each Regge trajectory has a maximum spin due to de Sitter acceleration, similarly to the folded string studied earlier. While this property is useful for the spectrum to satisfy the Higuchi bound, it makes a nontrivial question how to maintain mildness of high-energy string scattering which we are familiar with in flat space and anti-de Sitter space. Our analysis implies that in order to have infinitely many higher spin states, one needs to consider infinitely many Regge trajectories with an increasing folding number.

de Sitter空间中的尖刺弦
我们研究了de Sitter空间中的半经典尖峰字符串以及相应的Regge轨迹,从而对anti-de Sitter空间中的分析进行了概括。特别是,我们证明了每个Regge轨迹由于de Sitter加速度而具有最大自旋,这与之前研究的折叠弦相似。虽然此属性对于满足Higuchi界的光谱很有用,但它提出了一个重要的问题,即如何在平坦空间和anti-de Sitter空间中保持我们熟悉的高能弦散射的温和性。我们的分析表明,为了拥有无限多个更高的自旋状态,需要考虑无限多折叠数不断增加的Regge轨迹。
