Representations of the superalgebra $osp(2|2)$ and current superalgebra $osp(2|2)^{(1)}_k$ in the standard basis are investigated. All finite-dimensional typical and atypical representations of $osp(2|2)$ are constructed by the vector…
In this thesis steps are taken in the direction of formulating non-critical strings in the framework of the $G/G$ approach. A major part of the thesis is concerned with conformal field theory based on affine $SL(2)$ current algebra, in…
We review some results recently obtained for the conformal field theories based on the affine Lie superalgebra osp(1|2). In particular, we study the representation theory of the osp(1|2) current algebras and their character formulas. By…
A formula is proposed which expresses free fermion fields in 2K dimensions in terms of the Cartan currents of the free fermion current algebra. This leads, in an obvious manner, to a vertex operator construction of nonabelian free fermion…
The non-semisimple $gl(2|2)_k$ current superalgebra in the standard basis and the corresponding non-unitary conformal field theory are investigated. Infinite families of primary fields corresponding to all finite-dimensional irreducible…
We propose a general frame work for deriving the OPEs within a logarithmic conformal field theory (LCFT). This naturally leads to the emergence of a logarithmic partner of the energy momentum tensor within an LCFT, and implies that the…
We discuss realizations of the SL(2,R) current algebra in the hyperbolic basis using free scalar fields. It has been previously shown by Satoh how such a realization can be used to describe the principal continuous representations of…
We construct five independent screening currents associated with the $U_q(\widehat{sl(3)})$ quantum current algebra. The screening currents are expressed as exponentials of the eight basic deformed bosonic fields that are required in the…
We construct a BPS-saturated representation of the six-dimensional (2, 0) algebra with a certain non-zero value of the `central' charge. This representation is naturally carried by strings with internal degrees of freedom rather than by…
A new parafermionic algebra associated with the homogeneous space $A^{(2)}_2/U(1)$ and its corresponding $Z$-algebra have been recently proposed. In this paper, we give a free boson representation of the $A^{(2)}_2$ parafermion algebra in…
A realization of the Yangian double with center $DY_\hbar(sl_2)_k$ of level $k(\not=0,-2)$ in terms of free boson fields is constructed. The screening currents are also presented, which commute with $DY_\hbar(sl_2)$ modulo total difference.…
Operator algebra of (not necessarily free) higher-spin conformal conserved currents in generalized matrix spaces, that include 3d Minkowski space-time as a particular case, is shown to be determined by an associative algebra $M$ of…
We present $S^7$-algebras as generalized Kac-Moody algebras. A number of free-field representations is found. We construct the octonionic projective spaces ${\O}P^N$.
A new approach to massive integrable models is considered. It allows one to find symmetry algebras which define spaces of local operators and to get general integral representations for form-factors in the\ $ SU(2)$\ Thirring and…
We construct a realization of the Yangian double DY_\hbar(gl_N) and DY_\hbar(sl_N) of an arbitrary level k in terms of free boson fields with a continuous parameter. In the \hbar \to 0 limit this realization becomes the Wakimoto realization…
A two-parameter quantum deformation of the affine Lie super algebra $osp(2|2)^{(2)}$ is introduced and studied in some detail. This algebra is the first example associated with nonsimply-laced and twisted root systems of a quantum current…
We first review the representations of the six-dimensional (2,0) superalgebra on a free tensor multiplet and on a free string. We then construct a supersymmetric Lagrangian describing a free tensor multiplet. (It also includes a decoupled…
In this letter the explicit form of general two-point functions in affine SL(N) current algebra is provided for all representations, integrable or non-integrable. The weight of the conjugate field to a primary field of arbitrary weight is…
We show that two-dimensional sigma models are equivalent to certain perturbed conformal field theories. When the fields in the sigma model take values in a space G/H for a group G and a maximal subgroup H, the corresponding conformal field…
The recently derived current algebra of classical non-linear sigma models on arbitrary Riemannian manifolds is extended to include the energy-momentum tensor. It is found that in two dimensions the energy-momentum tensor $\theta_{\mu\nu}$,…
