We introduce a new class of two dimensional conformal field theories by extending Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models to chiral algebras with matrix-valued levels. The new CFTs are based on holomorphic currents with an operator product…

Generalized Z_k^(r/2) parafermionic theories - characterized by the dimension (r/2)(1-1/k) of the basic parafermionic field - provide potentially interesting quantum-Hall trial wavefunctions. Such wavefunctions reveal a W_k structure. This…

We consider the Quantum Inverse Scattering Method with a new R-matrix depending on two parameters $q$ and $t$. We find that the underlying algebraic structure is the two-parameter deformed algebra $SU_{q,t}(2)$ enlarged by introducing an…

We consider gauged WZW models based on a four dimensional non-semi-simple group. We obtain conformal $\s$-models in $D=3$ spacetime dimensions (with exact central charge $c=3$) by axially and vectorially gauging a one-dimensional subgroup.…

For any non-degenerate, quasi-homogeneous hypersurface singularity W and an admissible group of diagonal symmetries G, Fan, Jarvis, and Ruan have constructed a cohomological field theory which is a candidate for the mathematical structure…

The SU(2) WZW model at large level N can be interpreted semiclassically as string theory on S^3 with N units of Neveu-Schwarz H-flux. While globally geometric, the model nevertheless exhibits an interesting doubled geometry possessing…

We give numerous examples of almost Lie algebroids arising as Dirac structures in pre-Courant algebroids, e.g. from twisted Poisson structures, as well as from twisted actions of a Lie algebra. We moreover define a cohomology for them,…

The structure of Hamiltonian reductions of the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) theory by first class Kac-Moody constraints is analyzed in detail. Lie algebraic conditions are given for ensuring the presence of exact integrability,…

By generalizing the Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction a large class of $W$ algebras can be constructed. We introduce 'finite' versions of these algebras by Poisson reducing Kirillov Poisson structures on simple Lie algebras. A closed and…

We develop a structure theory for transposed Poisson algebras over fields of characteristic different from two. In particular, we prove that every finite-dimensional transposed Poisson algebra over an algebraically closed field decomposes…

We introduce Random Matrix Models for the Hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator of QCD-like theories. We show that they are equivalent to the $\epsilon$-limit of the chiral Lagrangian for Wilson chiral perturbation theory. Results are obtained…

We show that the 2d Poisson Sigma Model on a Poisson groupoid arises as an effective theory of the 3d Courant Sigma Model associated to the double of the underlying Lie bialgebroid. This field-theoretic result follows from a Lie-theoretic…

We consider the sl(2) current algebra at level k=-4 when the sl(2) BRST operator is nilpotent. We formulate a spectral sequence converging to the cohomology of this BRST operator. At the second term of the spectral sequence, we observe an…

Working directly on affine Lie groups, we construct several new formulations of the WZW model. In one formulation WZW is expressed as a one-dimensional mechanical system whose variables are coordinates on the affine Lie group. When written…

This text collects useful results concerning the quasi-Hopf algebra $\D $. We give a review of issues related to its use in conformal theories and physical mathematics. Existence of such algebras based on 3-cocycles with values in $ {R} /…

I examine the Generalized K$\ddot{a}$hler geometry of classical $N=(2,2)$ superconformal WZW model on a compact group and relate the right-moving and left-moving Kac-Moody superalgebra currents to the Generalized K$\ddot{a}$hler geometry…

We show that the WZNW model on the Lie supergroup GL(1|1) has super Poisson-Lie symmetry with the dual Lie supergroup B + A + A1;1|.i. Then, we discuss about D-branes and worldsheet boundary conditions on supermanifolds, in general, and…

We consider the Iwahori-Hecke algebra associated to an almost split Kac-Moody group $G$ (affine or not) over a nonarchimedean local field $K$. It has a canonical double-coset basis $(T_{\mathbf w})_{\mathbf w\in W^+}$ indexed by a…

We present an abstract framework for the axiomatic study of diagram algebras. Algebras that fit this framework possess analogues of both the Murphy and seminormal bases of the Hecke algebras of the symmetric groups. We show that the…

We consider the (2, 0) supersymmetric theory of tensor multiplets and self-dual strings in six space-time dimensions. Space-time diffeomorphisms that leave the string world-sheet invariant appear as gauge transformations on the normal…
