I am reading an article on introduction to string theory.
Consider an open string of length $L$, rotating around its center of mass with angular velocity $\omega$. Here we fix the gauge by the static gauge $\eta_\mu X^\mu = \tau$, where $\eta_\mu= (1,0,\cdots, 0)$. It claims that,
"under the static gauge, the time-dependent and space-dependent part of the Virasoro constraint decouple, so we can write the constraint as an equation only dependent of the spatial part: $$ (\dot{X}\pm X')^2 = 1." $$
I thought the above equation is the Virasoro constraint, but why it changed from $$ (\dot{X}\pm X')^2 = 0 $$ to the above equation by applying the static gauge? Or if I misunderstood the text.
