Conformal Invariance Of Interacting WZNW Models
نویسنده
چکیده
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 renormalizability of the perturbed model leads to an algebraic equation for couplings. This equation coincides with the master Virasoro equation. We find that the beta functions of the two-parameter perturbation have nontrivial zeros depending on the Thirring coupling constants. Thus we exhibit that solutions to the master equation provide nontrivial conformal points to the system of two interacting WZNW models.

Equivalence of Chern-Simons gauge theory and WZNW model using a BRST symmetry
The equivalence between the Chern-Simons gauge theory on a threedimensional manifold with boundary and theWZNWmodel on the boundary is established in a simple and general way using the BRST symmetry. Our approach is based on restoring gauge invariance of the Chern-Simons theory in the presence of a boundary. This gives a correspondence to the WZNW model that does not require solving any constra...
متن کاملConformal Points and Duality of Non-Abelian Thirring Models and Interacting WZNW Models
We show that the strong coupling phase of the non-Abelian Thirring model is dual to the weak-coupling phase of a system of two WZNW models coupled to each other through a current-current interaction. This latter system is integrable and is related to a perturbed conformal field theory which, in the large |k| limit, has a nontrivial zero of the perturbation-parameter beta-function. The non-Abeli...
متن کاملFactorization of Correlation Functions in Coset Conformal Field Theories
We use the conformal Ward identities to study the structure of correlation functions in coset conformal field theories. For a large class of primary fields of arbitrary g/h theory a factorization anzatz is found.The corresponding correlation functions are explicitly expressed in terms of correlation functions of two independent WZNW theories for g and h. Coset theories is an important subclass ...
متن کاملThe WZNW Model By A Perturbation Of Witten’s Conformal Solution
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.
متن کاملGauge connection between the WZNW system and 2D induced gravity
We introduce a consistent gauge extension of the SL(2, R) WZNW system, defined by a difference of two simple WZNW actions. By integrating out some dynamical variables in the functional integral, we show that the resulting effective theory coincides with the induced gravity in 2D. General solutions of both theories are found and related to each other. 1 Gauge extension of the WZNW system Dynamic...
