 Open-string endpoint momentum flux

For the Nambu-Goto phase-space action, ${\dot{P}}_m={\partial }_{\sigma }{J}_m$ with $J_m=e{T}^2{X}_m^{\prime }+u{P}_m$. Thus ${\dot{\mathcal{P}}}_m=J_m(\pi )-J_m(0)$. Free endpoint variations force $J_m=0$ individually. A Dirichlet boundary condition allows an external support or D-brane to absorb momentum in the fixed direction.
