We show that when the Wald-Zoupas prescription is implemented, the resulting charges realize the BMS symmetry algebra without any 2-cocycle nor central extension, at any cut of future null infinity. We refine the covariance prescription for…
We examine the Generalized K$\ddot{a}$hler Geometry of quantum N=2 superconformal WZW model on $SU(2)\times U(1)$ and relate the right-moving and left-moving Kac-Moody superalgebra currents to the Generalized K$\ddot{a}$hler Geometry data…
We study a Wess-Zumino-Witten model with target space AdS_3 x (S^3 x S^3 x S^1)/Z_2. This allows us to construct space-time N=3 superconformal theories. By combining left-, and right-moving parts through a GSO and a Z_2 projections, a new…
The fractional supersymmetry chiral algebras in two-dimensional conformal field theory are extended Virasoro algebras with fractional spin currents. We show that associativity and closure of these algebras determines their structure…
We propose a new "Hamiltonian inspired" covariant formula to define (without harmful ambiguities) the superpotential and the physical charges associated to a gauge symmetry. The criterion requires the variation of the Noether current not to…
In this article, we revisit some aspects of the computation of the cohomology class of $H^2 ( \text{Witt}, \mathbb{C})$ using some methods in two-dimensional conformal field theory and conformal algebra to obtain the one-dimensional central…
The construction of a q-deformed N=2 superconformal algebra is proposed in terms of level 1 currents of ${\cal{U}}_{q} ({\widehat{su}}(2))$ quantum affine Lie algebra and a single real Fermi field. In particular, it suggests the expression…
We propose a graphic method to derive the classical algebra (Dirac brackets) of non-local conserved charges in the two dimensional supersymmetric non-linear $O(N)$ sigma model. As in the purely bosonic theory we find a cubic Yangian…
The Galilean conformal algebra has recently been realised in the study of the non-relativistic limit of the AdS/CFT conjecture. This was obtained by a systematic parametric group contraction of the parent relativistic conformal field…
It is shown that the two-loop Kac-Moody algebra is equivalent to a two variable loop algebra and a decoupled $\beta$-$\gamma$ system. Similarly WZNW and CSW models having as algebraic structure the Kac-Moody algebra are equivalent to an…
We consider N=1,2 superconformal mechanics in 0+1 dimensions and show that if the Hamiltonian is invertible the superconformal generators can be used to construct half of the super Virasoro algebra. The full algebra can be derived if the…
In this lecture I summarize recent developments on strings propagating in curved spacetime. Exact conformal field theories that describe gravitational backgrounds such as black holes and more intricate gravitational singularities have been…
On Lie algebras, we study commutative 2-cocycles, i.e., symmetric bilinear forms satisfying the usual cocycle equation. We note their relationship with antiderivations and compute them for some classes of Lie algebras, including…
The classical and quantum algebras of a class of conformal NA-Toda models are studied. It is shown that the $SL(2,R)_q$ Poisson brackets algebra generated by certain chiral and antichiral charges of the nonlocal currents and the global U(1)…
We explicitly construct the extension of the N=2 super Virasoro algebra by two super primary fields of dimension two and three with vanishing u(1)-charge. Using a super covariant formalism we obtain two different solutions both consistent…
In this review, we present a general framework for the construction of Kac-Moody (KM) algebras associated to higher-dimensional manifolds. Starting from the classical case of loop algebras on the circle $\mathbb{S}^{1}$, we extend the…
All unitary Rational Conformal Field Theories (RCFT) are conjectured to be related to unitary coset Conformal Field Theories, i.e., gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models with compact gauge groups. In this paper we use subfactor theory and…
We present the complete structure of the nonlinear $N=2$ super extension of Polyakov-Bershadsky, $W_3^{(2)}$, algebra with the generic central charge, $c$, at the {\it quantum} level. It contains extra two pairs of fermionic currents with…
On a supersymmetric sigma model the covariantly constant forms are related to the conserved currents that are generators of a super W-algebra extending the superconformal algebra. The existence of covariantly constant forms restricts the…
We invent a method that exploits the geometry in the space of couplings and the known all-loop effective action, in order to calculate the exact in the couplings anomalous dimensions of composite operators for a wide class of integrable…
