Wess-Zumino-Witten model off criticality
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the renormalization group flow properties of the WessZumino-Witten model in the region of couplings between g2 = 0 and g2 = 4π/k, by evaluating the two-loop Zamolodchikov’s c-function. We also discuss the region of negative couplings.

The canonical structure of Wess-Zumino-Witten models
The phase space of theWess-Zumino-Witten model on a circle with target space a compact, connected, semisimple Lie group G is defined and the corresponding symplectic form is given. We present a careful derivation of the Poisson brackets of the Wess-Zumino-Witten model. We also study the canonical structure of the supersymmetric and the gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models.
متن کاملAlgebra of Non-local Charges in the O(n) Wznw Model at and beyond Criticality
We derive the classical algebra of the non-local conserved charges in the O(N) WZNW model and analyze its dependence on the coupling constant of the Wess-Zumino term. As in the non-linear sigma model, we find cubic deformations of the O(N) affine algebra. The surprising result is that the cubic algebra of the WZNW non-local charges does not obey the Jacobi identity, thus opposing our expectatio...
متن کاملUltraviolet Property of Noncommutative Wess-Zumino-Witten Model
We construct noncommutative extension of the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model and study its ultraviolet property. The β-function of the U(N) noncommutative WZW model resembles that of the ordinary WZW model. The U(1) noncommutative model has also a nontrivial fixed point. ∗[email protected]
متن کاملWess - Zumino - Witten and fermion models in noncommutative space
We analyze the connection between Wess-Zumino-Witten and free fermion models in two-dimensional noncommutative space. Starting from the computation of the determinant of the Dirac operator in a gauge field background, we derive the corresponding bosonization recipe studying, as an example, bosonization of the U (N) Thirring model. Concerning the properties of the noncommutative Wess-Zumi-no-Wit...
متن کاملAffine Kac-Moody Algebras and the Wess-Zumino-Witten Model
These lecture notes are a brief introduction to Wess-Zumino-Witten models, and their current algebras, the affine Kac-Moody algebras. After reviewing the general background, we focus on the application of representation theory to the computation of 3-point functions and fusion rules.
