The WZNW Model By A Perturbation Of Witten’s Conformal Solution
نویسنده
چکیده
The WZNW model at the Witten conformal point is perturbed by the σ-model term. It is shown that in the large level k limit the perturbed WZNW system with negative k arrives at the WZNW model with positive k.

The WZNW Model As An Integrable Perturbation Of The Witten Conformal Point
We show that the WZNW model with arbitrary σ-model coupling constant may be viewed as a σ-model perturbation of the WZNW theory around the Witten conformal point. In order for the σ-model perturbation to be relevant, the level k of the underlying affine algebra has to be negative. We prove that in the large |k| limit the perturbed WZNW system with negative k flows to the conformal WZNW model wi...

We discuss a new type of unitary perturbations around conformal theories inspired by the σ-model perturbation of the nonunitary WZNW model. We show that the nonunitary level k WZNW model perturbed by its sigma model term goes to the unitary level −k WZNW model. When plugged into the gauged WZNW model the given perturbation results in the perturbed gauged WZNW model which no longer describes a c...
متن کاملConformal Invariance Of Interacting WZNW Models
We consider two level k WZNW models coupled to each other through a generalized Thirring-like current-current interaction. It is shown that in the large k limit, this interacting system can be presented as a two-parameter perturbation around a nonunitary WZNW model. The perturbation operators are the sigma model kinetic terms with metric related to the Thirring coupling constants. The renormali...
متن کامل2 The σ - model perturbation of the GWZNW
We discuss special perturbations of the gauged level k WZNW model inspired by the σ-model perturbation of the nonunitary WZNW model. In the large k limit there is a second conformal point in the vicinity of the ultarviolet fixed point. At the second critical point the conformal model has a rational Virasoro central charge which no longer corresponds to a coset construction. In spite of this fac...
متن کاملSolutions of the Master Virasoro Equation as Conformal Points of Perturbed WZNW Model
It is shown that the master equation of the affine-Virasoro construction on the unitary affine algebra naturally emerges in the fusion algebra of the nonunitary level k WZNW model. Operators corresponding to solutions of the master equation are suitable for performing one-parametrical renormalizable perturbation around the given conformal nonunitary WZNW model. In the large |k| limit, the infra...
