Fermionic Coset Models as Topological Models

Abstract

By considering the fermionic realization of G/HG/H coset models, we show that the partition function for the U(1)/U(1)U(1)/U(1) model defines a Topological Quantum Field Theory and coincides with that for a 2-dimensional Abelian BF system. In the non-Abelian case, we prove the topological character of G/GG/G coset models by explicit computation, also finding a natural extension of 2-dimensional BF systems with non-Abelian symmetry.
