Description
Swimming of microorganisms is further developed from a viewpoint of strings and membranes swimming in the incompressible fluid of low Reynolds number. In our previous paper the flagellated motion was analyzed in two dimensional fluid, by using the method developed in the ciliated motion with the Joukowski transformation. This method is further refined by incorporating the inertia term of fluid as the perturbation. Understanding of the algebra controlling the deformation of microorganisms in the fluid is further developed, obtaining the central extension of the algebra with the help of the recent progress on the $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra. Our previous suggestion on the usefulness of the $N$-point string- and membrane-like amplitudes for studying the collective swimming motion of $N-1$ microorganisms is also examined.
