Abstract
A system of two massive spinless quarks tied together by a massless string is investigated. The string degrees of freedom is eliminated within the straight string approximation, which becomes exact in the two soluble cases, the circular and the linear motions. Classical solutions to a resulting effective Lagrangian are obtained and their properties are studied. ‘Regge trajectories’ determined by the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization are shown for light quarks and for heavy ones.Keywords
