Abstract
We consider classical string theory where the target space SDiff(M) is the infinite dimensional group of volume preserving diffeomorphisms of a smooth manifold M. In analogy with the case of free point particle motion on SDiff(M), where the geodesic equation is equivalent to the Euler equation for an incompressible fluid, we find a new set of coupled nonlinear equations. These can be interpreted as equations for a perfect fluid with some internal degrees of freedom. Some subtleties involved in quantizing this geometrical picture are discussed.
