Generalized Abelian S-duality and coset constructions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electric-magnetic duality and higher dimensional analogues are obtained as symmetries in generalized coset constructions, similar to the axial-vector duality of twodimensional coset models described by Roček and Verlinde. We also study global aspects of duality between p-forms and (d−p−2)-forms in d-manifolds. In particular, the modular duality anomaly is governed by the Euler character as in four and two dimensions. Duality transformations of Wilson line operator insertions are also considered.

Generalized abelian coset conformal field theories. Abstract Primary fields and correlation functions of an arbitrary abelian coset conformal field theory are explicitly expressed in terms of the associated W algebra and u(1) d currents.The coset theory has global abelian symmetry. In this paper we study conformal field theories based on the generalized coset construction [1-3] K(m) = L(m) − L ...

Coset conformal field theories with abelian isotropy groups. Abstract Conformal field theories based on g/u(1) d coset constructions where g is a reductive algebra are studied.It is shown that the theories are equivalent to constrained WZNW models for g. Generators of extended symmetry algebras and primary fields are constructed. In a recent paper [1] currents, primary fields and generators of ...
متن کاملCyclic Coset Orbifolds
We apply the new orbifold duality transformations to discuss the special case of cyclic coset orbifolds in further detail. We focus in particular on the case of the interacting cyclic coset orbifolds, whose untwisted sectors are Zλ(permutation)-invariant g/h coset constructions which are not λ copies of coset constructions. Because λ copies are not involved, the action of Zλ(permutation) in the...
متن کاملTriple factorization of non-abelian groups by two maximal subgroups
The triple factorization of a group $G$ has been studied recently showing that $G=ABA$ for some proper subgroups $A$ and $B$ of $G$, the definition of rank-two geometry and rank-two coset geometry which is closely related to the triple factorization was defined and calculated for abelian groups. In this paper we study two infinite classes of non-abelian finite groups $D_{2n}$ and $PSL(2,2^{n})$...
متن کاملReduction and Duality in Generalized Geometry
Extending our reduction construction in [15] to the Hamiltonian action of a Poisson Lie group, we show that generalized Kähler reduction exists even when only one generalized complex structure in the pair is preserved by the group action. We show that the constructions in string theory of the (geometrical) T -duality with H-fluxes for principle bundles naturally arise as reductions of factoriza...
