The SL(2,R) WZW model, one of the simplest models for strings propagating in curved space time, was believed to be non-unitary in the algebraic treatment involving affine current algebra. It is shown that this was an error that resulted…
Subregular W-algebras are an interesting and increasingly important class of quantum hamiltonian reductions of affine vertex algebras. Here, we show that the $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}$ subregular W-algebra can be realised in terms of the…
This paper consists of two parts. In the first one we study the behaviour of medial axes (skeletons) of closed sets in a connected complete Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ under deformations. The second one is devoted to a similar study…
This paper presents a method for constructing flat deformations of associative algebras. We will refer to this method as method two because it is a generalisation of the method obtained in [1]. The deformations obtained using the first two…
In this short note, inspired by much recent activity centered around attempts to formulate various correspondences between the classification of affine SU(k) WZW modular-invariant partition functions and that of discrete finite subgroups of…
Integrable field theories exhibit infinitely many symmetries which underlie their solvability, but the structure of these symmetries can become obscured after performing an integrable deformation such as $\TT$ or an auxiliary field…
This paper constructs a foundation to analyze semi-group actions, group actions, filtrations, and decompositions in a unified manner. In fact, though the studies of decomposition can be applied to foliated spaces and group actions, they can…
Let $K_\infty/K$ be a uniform $p$-adic Lie extension. We compare several arithmetic invariants of Iwasawa modules of ideal class groups on the one side and fine Selmer groups of abelian varieties on the other side. If $K_\infty$ contains…
Deformation theory of complex manifolds is a classical subject with recent new advances in the noncompact case using both algebraic and analytic methods. In this note, we recall some concepts of the existing theory and introduce new notions…
We discuss D-branes on a line of conformal field theories connected by an exact marginal deformation. The line contains an SU(2) WZW model and two mutually T-dual SU(2)/U(1) cosets times a free boson. We find the D-branes preserving a U(1)…
In this article we develop an approach to deformations of the Witt and Virasoro algebras based on $\sigma$-derivations. We show that $\sigma$-twisted Jacobi type identity holds for generators of such deformations. For the $\sigma$-twisted…
In this article we construct a type of deformations of representations $\pi_1(M)\rightarrow G$ where $G$ is an arbitrary lie group and $M$ is a large class of manifolds including CAT(0) manifolds. The deformations are defined based on…
We investigate the gauging of the Wess-Zumino term of a sigma model with boundary. We derive a set of obstructions to gauging and we interpret them as the conditions for the Wess-Zumino term to extend to a closed form in a suitable…
We modify a recently proposed heterotic model hep-th/0703210, giving three net-generations of standard model fermions, to get rid of an additional U(1) factor in the gauge group. The method employs a stable SU(5) bundle on a Calabi-Yau…
The WZW models describe the dynamics of the edge modes of Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions. We explore the WZW models which can be mapped to supersymmetric theories via the generalized Jordan-Wigner transformation. Some of such…
We show that a compact representation of a semisimple Lie group has an orthogonal decomposition into finite length representations. This generalises and simplifies a number of more special spectral theorems in the literature. We apply it to…
We construct two-parameter families of integrable $\lambda$-deformations of two-dimensional field theories. These interpolate between a CFT (a WZW/gauged WZW model) and the non-Abelian T-dual of a principal chiral model on a group/symmetric…
We deal with the reduction theory of a $W^*$-algebra $M$ along a $W^*$-subalgebra $Z$ of the centre of $M$. This is done by using Hilbert modules naturally constructed by suitable spatial representations of the abelian $W^*$-algebra $Z$. We…
A new action of the Yangians in the WZW models is displayed. Its structure is generic and level independent. This Yangian is the natural extension at the conformal point of the one unravelled in massive theories with current algebras.…
We present an explicit construction of the basic bundle gerbes with connection over all connected compact simple Lie groups. These are geometric objects that appear naturally in the Lagrangian approach to the WZW conformal field theories.…
