We demonstrate that all rational models of the N=2 super Virasoro algebra are unitary. Our arguments are based on three different methods: we determine Zhu's algebra (for which we give a physically motivated derivation) explicitly for…

We discuss the nonlinear extension of $N=2$ superconformal algebra by generalizing Sugawara construction and coset construction built from $N=2$ currents based on Kazama-Suzuki $N=2$ coset model $\frac{SU(3)}{SU(2) \times U(1)}$ in $N=2$…

In hep-th/9506151 we started a programme devoted to the systematic study of the conformal field theories derived from WZW models based on nonreductive Lie groups. In this, the second part, we continue this programme with a look at the N=1…

We study the modular invariance of $N=2$ superconformal $SU(1,1)$ models. By decomposing the characters of Kazama-Suzuki model $SU(3)/(SU(2)\times U(1))$ into an infinite sum of the characters of $(SU(1,1)/U(1))\times U(1)$ we construct…

We classify all possible occurrences of Kazama-Suzuki duality between the ${N=2}$ superconformal algebra $L^{N=2}_c$ and the subregular $\mathcal{W}$-algebra $\mathcal{W}_{k}(\mathfrak{sl}_4, f_{\rm sub})$. We establish a new Kazama-Suzuki…

We extend the Kazama-Suzuki construction of models with N=(2,2) world-sheet supersymmetry to cosets S/K of supergroups. Among the admissible target spaces that allow for an extension to N=2 superconformal algebras are some simple Lie…

Kazama-Suzuki coset models is an interesting class of N=2 supersymmetric models of conformal field theory which are used to build realistic models of superstring in 4 dimensions. We formulate Kazama-Suzuki construction of N=2 superconformal…

Limits of families of conformal field theories are of interest in the context of AdS/CFT dualities. We explore here the large level limit of the two-dimensional N=(2,2) superconformal W_{n+1} minimal models that appear in the context of the…

Based on the Kazama-Suzuki type coset construction and its inverse coset between the subregular $\mathcal{W}$-algebras for $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ and the principal $\mathcal{W}$-superalgebras for $\mathfrak{sl}_{1|n}$, we prove weight-wise…

The SW(3/2,3/2,2) superconformal algebra is a W algebra with two free parameters. It consists of 3 superconformal currents of spins 3/2, 3/2 and 2. The algebra is proved to be the symmetry algebra of the coset (su(2)+su(2)+su(2))/su(2). At…

We construct a one-to-one map between the primary fields of the N=2 superconformal Kazama-Suzuki models G(m,n,k) and G(k,n,m) based on complex Grassmannian cosets, using level-rank duality of Wess-Zumino-Witten models. We then show that…

Aiming at a complete classification of unitary N=2 minimal models (where the assumption of space-time supersymmetry has been dropped), it is shown that each modular invariant candidate of a partition function for such a theory is indeed the…

We derive the embedding structure of unitary N=2 minimal models and show as a result that these representations have a degeneration of uncharged singular states. This corrects some earlier mistakes made in the literature. We discuss the…

We study the minimal models associated to $\mathfrak{osp}(1 \vert 2)$, otherwise known as the fractional-level Wess-Zumino-Witten models of $\mathfrak{osp}(1 \vert 2)$. Since these minimal models are extensions of the tensor product of…

We study two-dimensional WZW models with target space a nonreductive Lie group. Such models exist whenever the Lie group possesses a bi-invariant metric. We show that such WZW models provide a lagrangian description of the nonreductive…

We present part of our investigations on two dimensional N=1 and N=2 superconformal field theories. As a direct generalization we consider the SU(2) coset models, in particular their renormalization group properties. A search and possible…

We study the unitarity of monodromies of rank two Fuchsian systems of SL type with $(n+1)$ regular singularities on the Riemann sphere, namely, we give a sufficient and necessary condition for the monodromy group to be conjugate to a…

This thesis first gives a background and review of the article hep-th/0102038, where we substantiated a conjectured duality between two a priori unrelated gauge theories, N=2 quiver theory and N=2 Seiberg-Witten theory. These gauge theories…

In this work we extend the results of previous derivations of Seiberg-like dualities (level-rank duality) between gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten theories. The arguments in use to identify a potential dual for the supersymmetric WZW theory based…

We describe the magnetic phase of SU(N) $\mathcal{N}=2$ Super Yang-Mills theories in the self-dual Omega background in terms of a new class of multi-cut matrix models. These arise from a non-perturbative completion of topological strings in…
