Abstract
Small-scale structures put on an n-dimensional object
embedded in (D+1)-dimensional spacetime modify in general the
energy per unit n-volume and tension (or pressure) of the
coarse-grained n-dimensional object. We seek fixed points of the
renormalization group equations, i.e. equations of states that
are independent of the presence of small-scale structures and
find that these fixed points exist only for n=1 case (the
string), especially for the Nambu-Goto strings.
