چکیده

We study the space of the allowed boundary states in a particular c = 1 conformal field theory, the symmetric orbifold of the level one SU(2) WZW model, where the orbifolding group G is a generic binary finite subgroup of SU(2). We especially construct generic boundary states in the orbifold, which can be extended from the Cardy states decomposed into Virasoro Ishibashi states. Our result involves conformal boundary states parameterized by the quotient SU(2)/G, and the fractional boundary states sitting at every fixed-point in the quotient. We find also that a conformal boundary state at a fixed-point in the quotient becomes a linear combination of the fractional boundary states sitting at the fixed-point. To be complete, we check the mutual consistency among all the boundary states we construct.

Conformal Boundary States in ŝu(2)1/G

In the study of conformal field theories with boundaries, it is important to construct boundary states generally breaking extended symmetries but preserving the (reduced) conformal symmetry. This problem has been clarified in c = 1 irrational theories, in particular, the circle theory1)–8) and its Z2 orbifold. 8), 9) In another c = 1 CFT realized by the ŝu(2)1/G orbifold, 10) the authors of Ref...

D-branes in T-fold conformal field theory

We investigate boundary dynamics of orbifold conformal field theory involving Tduality twists. Such models typically appear in contexts of non-geometric string compactifications that are called monodrofolds or T-folds in recent literature. We use the framework of boundary conformal field theory to analyse the models from a microscopic world-sheet perspective. In these backgrounds there are two ...

Exact chiral ring of AdS3/CFT2

We carry out an exact worldsheet computation of tree level three-point correlators of chiral operators in type IIB string theory on AdS3×S×T 4 with NS-NS flux. We present a simple representation for the string chiral operators in the coordinate basis of the dual boundary CFT. Striking cancelations occur between the three-point functions of the H3 and the SU(2) WZW models which result in a simpl...

Spectral Flow in AdS 3 / CFT 2

We study the spectral flowed sectors of the H 3 WZW model in the context of the holographic duality between type IIB string theory in AdS3 × S × T 4 with NSNS flux and the symmetric product orbifold of T . We construct explicitly the physical vertex operators in the flowed sectors that belong to short representations of the superalgebra, thus completing the bulk-to-boundary dictionary for 1/2 B...

Rr Charges of D2-branes in the Wzw Model

We consider the contribution of the B-field into the RR charge of a spherical D2-brane. Extending a recent analysis of Taylor, we show that the boundary and bulk contributions do not cancel in general. Instead, they add up to an integer as observed by Stanciu. The general formula is applied to compute the RR charges of spherical D-branes of the SU(2) WZW model at level k and it shows that these...
