چکیده
We present a mechanism to construct four-dimensional charged massless Ramond states using the discrete states of a fivebrane Liouville internal conformal field theory. This conformal field theory has background charge, and admits an inner product which allows positive norm states. A connection among supergravity soliton solutions, Liouville conformal field theory, non-critical string theory and their gauge symmetry properties is given. A generalized construction of the SU (2) super Kac-Moody algebra mixing with the N = 1 super Virasoro algebra is analyzed. How these Ramond states evade the DKV no-go theorem is explained.

We show how the gauge symmetry representations of the massless particle content of gauged supergravities that arise in the AdS/CFT correspondences can be derived from symmetric subgroups to be carried by string theory vertex operators in these compactified models, although an explicit vertex operator construction of IIB string and M theories on AdSxS remains elusive. Our symmetry mechanism para...

All unitary Rational Conformal Field Theories (RCFT) are conjectured to be related to unitary Coset Conformal Field Theories, i.e., gauged Wess-ZuminoWitten (WZW) models with compact gauge groups. In this paper we use subfactor theory and ideas of algebraic Quantum Field Theory (QFT) to approach Coset Conformal Field Theories. Two main conjectures are formulated and their consequences are discu...

Six dimensional supergravities on ADS 3 ×S 3 present interest due to the role they play in the AdS/CF T correspondence. The correspondence in this case states the equivalence between supergravity on the given background and a still unknown conformal field theory. The conformal field theory in question is expected to appear by deforming of the free conformal field theory on S N (T 4) in a way wh...

What is quantum geometry? This question is becoming a popular leitmotiv in theoretical physics and in mathematics. Conformal field theory may catch a glimpse of the right answer. We review global aspects of the geometry of conformal fields, such as duality and mirror symmetry, and interpret them within Connes’ non-commutative geometry.
