D-Branes on a gauged WZW model
The algebraic classification of Cardy for boundary states on a G/H coset CFT of a compact group G, is geometrically realized on the corresponding manifold resulting from gauging the WZW model. The branes consist of H orbits of quantized G conjugacy classes shifted by quantized H conjugacy classes.
متن کاملBoundary states in the Nappi-Witten model
We investigate D-branes in the Nappi-Witten model. Classically symmetric Dbranes are classified by the (twisted) conjugacy classes of the Nappi-Witten group, which specify the geometry of the corresponding D-branes. Quantum description of the D-branes is given by boundary states, and we need one point functions of closed strings to construct the boundary states. We compute the one point functio...
متن کاملFrom Big Bang to Big Crunch and Beyond
We study a quotient Conformal Field Theory, which describes a 3 + 1 dimensional cosmological spacetime. Part of this spacetime is the Nappi-Witten (NW) universe, which starts at a “big bang” singularity, expands and then contracts to a “big crunch” singularity at a finite time. The gauged WZW model contains a number of copies of the NW spacetime, with each copy connected to the preceeding one a...
متن کاملHidden Isometry in a Chiral Gauged WZW Model
It is shown that the asymmetric chiral gauging of the WZW models give rise to consistent string backgrounds. The target space structure of the [SL(2,R)/SO(1, 1)]L ⊗ [SL(2,R)/U(1)]R model is analyzed and the presence of a hidden isometry in this background is demonstrated. A nonlinear coordinate transformation is obtained which transforms the asymmetric model to the symmetric one, analyzed recen...
متن کاملGauged WZW Models
As shown by Witten the N = 1 supersymmetric gauged WZW model based on a group G has an extended N = 2 supersymmetry if the gauged subgroup H is so chosen that G/H is Kähler. We extend Witten’s result and prove that the N = 1 supersymmetric gauged WZW models over G×U(1) are actually invariant under N = 4 superconformal transformations if the gauged subgroup H is such that G/(H × SU(2)) is a quat...
