The Mini - Superspace Limit of the Sl ( 2 , C ) / Su ( 2 ) - Wznw Model
نویسنده
چکیده
Many qualitatively new features of WZNW models associated to noncompact cosets are due to zero modes with continuous spectrum. Insight may be gained by reducing the theory to its zero-mode sector, the mini-superspace limit. This will be discussed in some detail for the example of SL(2,C)/SU(2)-WZNW model. The mini-superspace limit of this model can be formulated as baby-CFT. Spectrum, structure constants and fusion rules as well as factorization of four point functions are obtained from the harmonic analysis on SL(2,C)/SU(2). The issues of operator-state correspondence or the appearance of non-normalizable intermediate states in correlation functions can be discussed transparently in this context.

متن کاملOn the SU(2|1) WZNW model and its statistical mechanics applications
Motivated by a careful analysis of the Laplacian on the supergroup SU(2|1) we formulate a proposal for the state space of the SU(2|1) WZNW model. We then use properties of ŝl(2|1) characters to compute the partition function of the theory. In the special case of level k = 1 the latter is found to agree with the properly regularized partition function for the continuum limit of the integrable sl...
متن کاملOn Structure Constants and Fusion Rules in the Sl ( 2 , C ) / Su ( 2 ) Wznw Model
A closed formula for the structure constants in the SL(2,C)/SU(2) WZNW model is derived by a method previously used in Liouville theory. With the help of a reflection amplitude that follows from the structure constants one obtains a proposal for the fusion rules from canonical quantization. Taken together these pieces of information allow an unambigous definition of any genus zero n-point funct...
متن کامل2 and N = 4 Supergravity and the Liouville Theory in Superspace 1
The two-dimensional (2d) manifestly locally supersymmetric actions describing the N=2 and N=4 extended super-Liouville theory coupled to the N=2 and N=4 conformal supergravity, respectively, are constructed in superspace. It is shown that the N=4 super-Liouville multiplet is described by the improved twisted-II scalar mul-tiplet TM-II, whose kinetic terms are given by the SU(2) ⊗ U(1) WZNW model.

We define the SU (2) × SU (2) harmonic superspace analogs of tensor and non-linear (4, 4), 2D supermultiplets. They are described by constrained analytic super-fields and provide an off-shell formulation of a class of torsionful (4, 4) supersym-metric sigma models with abelian translational isometries on the bosonic target. We examine their relation to (4, 4) twisted multiplets and discuss diff...
