- 55 Extra Observables in Gauged WZW Models

چکیده
It is known that Liouville theory can be represented as an SL(2,R) gauged WZW model. We study a two dimensional field theory which can be obtained by analytically continuing some of the variables in the SL(2,R) gauged WZW model. We can derive Liouville theory from the analytically continued model, ( which is a gauged SL(2, C)/SU(2) model, ) in a similar but more rigorous way than from the original gauged WZW model. We investigate the observables of this gauged SL(2, C)/SU(2) model. We find infinitely many extra observables which can not be identified with operators in Liouville theory. We concentrate on observables which are (1, 1) forms and the correlators of their integrals over two dimensional spacetime. At a special value of the coupling constant of our model, the correlators of these integrals on the sphere coincide with the results from matrix models.

Following recent work on the effective quantum action of gauged WZW models, we suggest such an action for chiral gauged WZW models which in many respects differ from the usual gauged WZW models. Using the effective action we compute the conformally exact expressions for the metric, the antisymmetric tensor, and the dilaton fields in the σ-model arising from a general chiral gauged WZW model. We...
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...
متن کاملOn the Exceptional Gauged WZW Theories
We consider two different versions of gauged WZW theories with the exceptional groups and gauged with any of theirs null subgroups. By constructing suitable automorphism, we establish the equivalence of these two theories. On the other hand our automorphism, relates the two dual irreducible Riemannian globally symmetric spaces with different characters based on the corresponding exceptional Lie...
متن کاملGauged WZW models and non-Abelian duality.
We consider WZW models based on the non-semi-simple algebras that they were recently constructed as contractions of corresponding algebras for semi-simple groups. We give the explicit expression for the action of these models, as well as for a generalization of them, and discuss their general properties. Furthermore we consider gauged WZW models based on these non-semi-simple algebras and we sh...

We review the construction of extended ( N = 2 and N = 4 ) superconformal algebras over triple systems and the gauged WZW models invariant under them. The N = 2 superconformal algebras (SCA) realized over Freudenthal triple systems (FTS) admit extension to “maximal” N = 4 SCA’s with SU(2)× SU(2)× U(1) symmetry. A detailed study of the construction and classification of N = 2 and N = 4 SCA’s ove...
