High Energy Physics - Theory 2019-08-15 v1

Abstract

A class of string backgrounds associated with non semi-simple groups is obtained as a special large level limit of ordinary WZW models. The models have an integer Virasoro central charge and they include the background recently studied by Nappi and Witten.
