The Operator Algebra and Twisted KZ Equations of WZW Orbifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
We obtain the operator algebra of each twisted sector of all WZW orbifolds, including the general twisted current algebra and the algebra of the twisted currents with the twisted affine primary fields. Surprisingly, the twisted right and left mover current algebras are not a priori copies of each other. Using the operator algebra we also derive world-sheet differential equations for the twisted affine primary fields of all WZW orbifolds. Finally we include ground state properties to obtain the twisted Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations of the WZW permutation orbifolds and the inner-automorphic WZW orbifolds.

Extended Operator Algebra and Reducibility in the WZW Permutation Orbifolds
Recently the operator algebra, including the twisted affine primary fields, and a set of twisted KZ equations were given for the WZW permutation orbifolds. In the first part of this paper we extend this operator algebra to include the so-called orbifold Virasoro algebra of each WZW permutation orbifold. These algebras generalize the orbifold Virasoro algebras (twisted Virasoro operators) found ...
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 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 کاملThe Outer-Automorphic WZW Orbifolds on so(2n), including Five Triality Orbifolds on so(8)
Following recent advances in the local theory of current-algebraic orbifolds we present the basic dynamics including the twisted KZ equations of each twisted sector of all outer-automorphic WZW orbifolds on so(2n). Physics-friendly Cartesian bases are used throughout, and we are able in particular to assemble two Z3 triality orbifolds and three S3 triality orbifolds on so(8).
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...
