Rigidly Rotating Strings in Stationary Spacetimes

In this paper we study the motion of a rigidly rotating Nambu-Goto test nstring in a stationary axisymmetric background spacetime. As special examples nwe consider the rigid rotation of strings in flat spacetime, where explicit nanalytic solutions can be obtained, and in the Kerr spacetime where we find an ninteresting new family of test string solutions. We present a detaile..
