Topological M-Strings and Supergroup WZW Models

چکیده
We study the boundary conditions in topologically twisted Chern-Simons matter theories with the Lie 3-algebraic structure. We find that the supersymmetric boundary conditions and the gauge invariant boundary conditions can be unified as complexified gauge invariant boundary conditions which lead to supergroup WZW models. We propose that the low-energy effective field theories on the two-dimensional intersection of multiple M2-branes on a holomorphic curve inside K3 with two non-parallel M5-branes on the K3 are supergroup WZW models from the topologically twisted BLG-model and the ABJM-model.

Integrable quantum field theories with supergroup symmetries: the OSP(1/2) case
As a step to understand general patterns of integrability in 1 + 1 quantum field theories with supergroup symmetry, we study in details the case of OSP(1/2). Our results include the solutions of natural generalizations of models with ordinary group symmetry: the UOSP(1/2)k WZW model with a current–current perturbation, the UOSP(1/2) principal chiral model, and the UOSP(1/2)⊗UOSP(1/2)/UOSP(1/2) ...
متن کاملThe General Twisted Open WZW String
We recently studied two large but disjoint classes of twisted open WZW strings: the openstring sectors of the WZW orientation orbifolds and the so-called basic class of twisted open WZW strings. In this paper, we discuss all T-dualizations of the basic class to construct the general twisted open WZW string – which includes the disjoint classes above as special cases. For the general case, we gi...
متن کاملA Basic Class of Twisted Open WZW Strings
Recently, Giusto and Halpern reported the open-string description of a certain basic class of untwisted open WZW strings, including their associated non-commutative geometry and open-string KZ equations. In this paper, we combine this development with results from the theory of current-algebraic orbifolds to find the open-string description of a corresponding basic class of twisted open WZW str...
متن کاملTwisted Open Strings from Closed Strings: The WZW Orientation Orbifolds
Including world-sheet orientation-reversing automorphisms ĥσ ∈ H− in the orbifold program, we construct the operator algebras and twisted KZ systems of the general WZW orientation orbifold Ag(H−)/H−. We find that the orientation-orbifold sectors corresponding to each ĥσ ∈ H− are twisted open WZW strings, whose properties are quite distinct from conventional open-string orientifold sectors. As s...
متن کاملOn String Theory in Ads 3 Backgrounds *
We discuss the string theory on AdS3. In the first half of this talk, we review the SL(2, R) and the SL(2, C)/SU(2) WZW models which describe the strings on the Lorentzian and Euclidean AdS3 without RR backgrounds, respectively. An emphasis is put on the fundamental issues such as the unitarity, the modular invariance and the closure of the OPE. In the second half, we discuss some attempts at c...
