Ramond Twisted Representations
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the Ramond twisted representations of the affine W algebra W(ḡ, f) in the case that f is Richardson. We establish the vanishing and the almost irreducibility of the corresponding BRST cohomology. This confirms some of the recent conjectures of Kac and Wakimoto [KW5]. In type A, our results give the characters of all irreducible ordinary Ramond twisted representations of W(sln, f) for all nilpotent elements f and all non-critical k, and prove the existence of modular invariant representations conjectured in [KW5].

Representation Theory of W -algebras, Ii: Ramond Twisted Representations
We study the Ramond twisted representations of the affine W algebra W(ḡ, f) in the case that f admits a good even grading. We establish the vanishing and the almost irreducibility of the corresponding BRST cohomology. This confirms some of the recent conjectures of Kac and Wakimoto [KW5]. In type A, our results give the characters of all irreducible ordinary Ramond twisted representations of W(...
متن کاملD-branes on Orbifolds with Discrete Torsion And Topological Obstruction
We find the orbifold analog of the topological relation recently found by Freed and Witten which restricts the allowed D-brane configurations of Type II vacua with a topologically non-trivial flat B-field. The result relies in Douglas proposal – which we derive from worldsheet consistency conditions – of embedding projective representations on open string Chan-Paton factors when considering orb...
متن کاملHarmonic Spinors on Homogeneous Spaces
Let G be a compact, semi-simple Lie group and H a maximal rank reductive subgroup. The irreducible representations of G can be constructed as spaces of harmonic spinors with respect to a Dirac operator on the homogeneous space G/H twisted by bundles associated to the irreducible, possibly projective, representations of H. Here, we give a quick proof of this result, computing the index and kerne...
متن کاملRamond sector of superconformal algebras via quantum reduction
Quantum hamiltonian reduction of affine superalgebras is studied in the twisted case. The Ramond sector of “minimal” superconformal Walgebras is described in detail, the determinant formula is obtained. The paper generalizes the results of Kac and Wakimoto to the twisted case.

متن کاملGauge and gravitational anomalies in D = 4 N = 1 orientifolds
The cancellation of U(1)-gauge and U(1)-gravitational anomalies in certain D = 4 N = 1 Type IIB orientifolds is analyzed in detail, from a string theory point of view. We verify the proposal that these anomalies are cancelled by a Green-Schwarz mechanism involving only twisted Ramond-Ramond fields. By factorizing one-loop partition functions, we also get the anomalous couplings of D-branes, O-p...
