The canonical structure of Wess-Zumino-Witten models
نویسنده
چکیده
The phase space of theWess-Zumino-Witten model on a circle with target space a compact, connected, semisimple Lie group G is defined and the corresponding symplectic form is given. We present a careful derivation of the Poisson brackets of the Wess-Zumino-Witten model. We also study the canonical structure of the supersymmetric and the gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models.

Integrability of the Wess–Zumino–Witten Model as a Non–Ultralocal Theory
We consider the 2–dimensional Wess–Zumino–Witten (WZW) model in the canonical formalism introduced in [5]. Using an r–s matrix approach to non–ultralocal field theories we find the Poisson algebra of monodromy matrices and of conserved quantities with a new, non–dynamical, r matrix. †[email protected] ‡[email protected] §[email protected]
متن کاملThe Wess-Zumino-Witten term in non-commutative two-dimensional fermion models
We study the effective action associated to the Dirac operator in two dimensional non-commutative Field Theory. Starting from the axial anomaly, we compute the determinant of the Dirac operator and we find that even in the U(1) theory, a Wess-Zumino-Witten like term arises.

We extend the analysis [18] of the canonical structure of the Wess-Zumino-Witten theory to the bulk and boundary coset G/H models. The phase spaces of the coset theories in the closed and in the open geometry appear to coincide with those of a double ChernSimons theory on two different 3-manifolds. In particular, we obtain an explicit description of the canonical structure of the boundary G/G c...
متن کاملWess - Zumino - Witten and fermion models in noncommutative space
We analyze the connection between Wess-Zumino-Witten and free fermion models in two-dimensional noncommutative space. Starting from the computation of the determinant of the Dirac operator in a gauge field background, we derive the corresponding bosonization recipe studying, as an example, bosonization of the U (N) Thirring model. Concerning the properties of the noncommutative Wess-Zumi-no-Wit...
متن کاملThe Global Phase Space Structure of the Wess - Zumino - Witten Model
We present a new parameterisation of the space of solutions of the Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a cylinder, with target space a compact, connected Lie group G. Using the covariant canonical approach the phase space of the theory is shown to be the co-tangent bundle of the loop group of the Lie group G, in agreement with the result from the Hamiltonian approach. The Poisson brackets in this phase...
