FZZ Scattering

چکیده
We study the duality between the two dimensional black hole and the sine-Liouville conformal field theories via exact operator quantization of a classical scattering problem. The ideas are first illustrated in Liouville theory, which is dual to itself under the interchange of the Liouville parameter b by 1/b. In both cases, a classical scattering problem does not determine uniquely the quantum reflection coefficient. The latter is only fixed by assuming that the dual scattering problem has the same reflection coefficient. We also discuss the relation of this approach with the method that exploits the parafermionic symmetry of the model to compute the reflection coefficient.

The String Theory on AdS3 as a Marginal Deformation of a Linear Dilaton Background
We investigate N -point string scattering amplitudes in AdS3 space. Based on recent observations on the solutions of KZ and BPZ-type differential equations, we discuss how to describe the string theory in AdS3 as a marginal deformation of a (flat) linear dilaton background. This representation resembles the called “discrete light-cone Liouville” realization as well as the FZZ dual description i...
متن کاملM ar 2 00 4 D - branes and complex curves in c = 1 string theory
We give a geometric interpretation for D-branes in the c = 1 string theory. The geometric description is provided by complex curves which arise in both CFT and matrix model formulations. On the CFT side the complex curve appears from the partition function on the disk with Neumann boundary conditions on the Liouville field (FZZ brane). In the matrix model formulation the curve is associated wit...
