Abstract

We perform canonical quantization of the WZW model with defects and permutation branes. We establish symplectomorphism between phase space of WZW model with NN defects on cylinder and phase space of Chern-Simons theory on annulus times RR with NN Wilson lines, and between phase space of WZW model with NN defects on strip and Chern-Simons theory on disc times RR with N+2N+2 Wilson lines. We obtained also symplectomorphism between phase space of the NN-fold product of the WZW model with boundary conditions specified by permutation branes, and phase space of Chern-Simons theory on sphere with NN holes and two Wilson lines.
