Chiral zero modes of the SU(n) WZNW model

چکیده
We define the chiral zero modes’ phase space of the G = SU(n) Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model as an (n − 1)(n + 2)dimensional manifoldMq equipped with a symplectic form Ωq involving a Wess-Zumino (WZ) term ρ which depends on the monodromy M and is implicitly defined (on an open dense neighbourhood of the group unit) by dρ(M) = 1 3 tr (MdM) . (∗) This classical system exhibits a Poisson-Lie symmetry that evolves upon quantization into an Uq(sln) symmetry for q a primitive even root of 1 . For each (non-degenerate, constant) solution of the classical Yang-Baxter equation (CYBE) we write down explicitly a ρ(M) satisfying Eq.(∗) and invert the form Ωq , thus computing the Poisson bivector of the system. The resulting Poisson brackets (PB) appear as the classical counterpart of the exchange relations of the quantum matrix algebra studied previously in [31]. We argue that it is advantageous to equate the determinant D of the zero modes’ matrix (aα) to a pseudoinvariant under permutations polynomial in the SU(n) weights, rather than to adopt the familiar convention D = 1 . A finite dimensional ”Fock space” operator realization of the factor algebra Mq/Ih , where Ih is an appropriate ideal in Mq for qh = −1 , is briefly discussed.

متن کاملQuantum matrix algebra for the SU(n) WZNW model
The zero modes of the chiral SU(n) WZNW model give rise to an intertwining quantum matrix algebra A generated by an n×n matrix a = (aα) , i, α = 1, . . . , n (with noncommuting entries) and by rational functions of n commuting elements qi satisfying n ∏ i=1 qi = 1, qaα = a j αq pi+δ j i− 1 n . We study a generalization of the Fock space (F) representation of A for generic q (q not a root of uni...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Instantons with Bosonization and Physics of Adjoint QCD2
We evaluate partition functions ZI in topologically nontrivial (instanton) gauge sectors in the bosonized version of the Schwinger model and in a gauged WZNW model corresponding to QCD2 with adjoint fermions. We show that the bosonized model is equivalent to the fermion model only if a particular form of the WZNW action with gauge-invariant integrand is chosen. For the exact correspondence, it ...
متن کاملThe Mini - Superspace Limit of the Sl ( 2 , C ) / Su ( 2 ) - Wznw Model
Many qualitatively new features of WZNW models associated to noncompact cosets are due to zero modes with continuous spectrum. Insight may be gained by reducing the theory to its zero-mode sector, the mini-superspace limit. This will be discussed in some detail for the example of SL(2,C)/SU(2)-WZNW model. The mini-superspace limit of this model can be formulated as baby-CFT. Spectrum, structure...
