In the first part we present the Weyl algebra and our results concerning its finite-dimensional Lie subalgebras. The second part is devoted to a more exotic algebraic structure, the Lie algebra of order 3. We set the basis of a theory of…
We consider the N=1 supersymmetric two-dimensional non-linear sigma model with boundaries and nonzero B-field. By analysing the appropriate currents we describe the full set of boundary conditions compatible with N=1 superconformal…
We develop the theory of Chern-Simons bundle 2-gerbes and multiplicative bundle gerbes associated to any principal $G$-bundle with connection and a class in $H^4(BG, \ZZ)$ for a compact semi-simple Lie group $G$. The Chern-Simons bundle…
WZW models are abstract conformal field theories with an infinite dimensional symmetry which accounts for their integrability, and at the same time they have a sigma model description of closed string propagation on group manifolds which,…
We construct integrable and superintegrable Hamiltonian systems using the realizations of four dimensional real Lie algebras as a symmetry of the system with the phase space R4 and R6. Furthermore, we construct some integrable and…
We consider a class of sigma models that appears from a generalisation of the gauged WZW model parametrised by a constant matrix $Q$. Particular values of $Q$ correspond to the standard gauged WZW models, chiral gauged WZW models and a…
We construct a generalization of the two-dimensional Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a $2n$-dimensional K\"ahler manifold as a group-valued non-linear sigma model with an anomaly term containing the K\"ahler form. The model is shown to have an…
We formulate four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models in N=1 superspace. We show how to add superpotentials consistent with N=2 supersymmetry. We lift our construction to higher-dimensional spacetime and write…
This paper offers an adaptation to the convenient setting of finite dimensional Nambu-Poisson structures. In particular, for partial Nambu structures, we look for those whose classical geometrical results in finite dimension can be extended…
We construct an open enumerative theory for the Landau-Ginzburg (LG) model $(\mathbb{C}^2, \mu_r\times \mu_s, x^r+y^s)$. The invariants are defined as integrals of multisections of a Witten bundle with descendents over a moduli space that…
We introduce a new construction of bilinear invariant forms on Lie algebras, based on the method of graded contractions. The general method is described and the $\Bbb Z_2$-, $\Bbb Z_3$-, and $\Bbb Z_2\otimes\Bbb Z_2$-contractions are found.…
The fundamental 2-form of an invariant almost Hermitian structure on a 6-dimensional Lie group is described in terms of an action by SO(4)xU(1) on complex projective 3-space. This leads to a combinatorial description of the classes of…
We prove mirror symmetry for supersymmetric sigma models on Kahler manifolds in 1+1 dimensions. The proof involves establishing the equivalence of the gauged linear sigma model, embedded in a theory with an enlarged gauge symmetry, with a…
The domain of applicability of the Poisson-Lie T-duality is enlarged to include the gauged WZNW models.
We study an N=1 two-dimensional non-linear sigma model with boundaries representing, e.g., a gauge fixed open string. We describe the full set of boundary conditions compatible with N=1 superconformal symmetry. The problem is analyzed in…
N=(2,2), d=2 supersymmetric non-linear sigma-models provide a physical realization of Hitchin's and Gualtieri's generalized Kaehler geometry. A large subclass of such models are comprised by WZW-models on even-dimensional reductive group…
We describe a unifying framework for the systematic construction of integrable deformations of integrable $\sigma$-models within the Hamiltonian formalism. It applies equally to both the `Yang-Baxter' type as well as `gauged WZW' type…
Recent work applying higher gauge theory to the superstring has indicated the presence of `higher symmetry'. Infinitesimally, this is realized by a `Lie 2-superalgebra' extending the Poincare superalgebra in precisely the dimensions where…
In this paper, we study the perturbative aspects of a twisted version of the two-dimensional $(0,2)$ heterotic sigma model on a holomorphic gauge bundle $\mathcal E$ over a complex, hermitian manifold $X$. We show that the model can be…
Poisson sigma models represent an interesting use of Poisson manifolds for the construction of a classical field theory. Their definition in the language of fibre bundles is shown and the corresponding field equations are derived using a…
