Abstract: The reduced covariant phase space associated with the three-dimensional Euclidean Nambu-Goto action can be identified, via the Enneper-Weierstrass representation of minimal surfaces, with the space of complex analytic functions plus three translational zero modes. The symplectic structure induced trough the Enneper-Weierstrass map can be explicitly computed. Quantization is then straightforward, yielding as a result a target-space Euclidean-invariant, positive-definite, two-dimensional quantum field theory. The physical states are shown to correspond with particles states of integer spin and arbitrary mass.
