It was shown in [AFS00] that there are only three types of irreducible unitary representations theta of sl_2. Using the Schurmann triple one can associate with each theta a number of representations of the square of white noise (SWN)…

Thirty years ago Aragone and Deser showed that in three dimensions there exists a consistent model describing interaction for massless spin-2 and spin-5/2 fields. It was crucial that these fields lived in a flat Minkowski space and as a…

The Wess-Zumino term of the spinning string is constructed in terms of their anomalies using an extended field-antifield formalism. A new feature appears from a fact that the non-anomalous transformations do not form a sub-group. The…

We confirm the convergence of the derivative expansion in two supersymmetric models via the functional renormalization group method. Using pseudo-spectral methods, high-accuracy results for the lowest energies in supersymmetric quantum…

Korff and Stroppel discovered a realization of su(n) affine fusion, the fusion of the su(n) Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) conformal field theory, in the phase model, a limit of the q-boson hopping model. This integrable-model…

String backgrounds associated with gauged $G/H$ WZNW models generically depend on $\alpha'$ or $1/k$. The exact expressions for the corresponding metric $G_{\m\n}$, antisymmetric tensor $B_{\m\n}$, and dilaton $\phi$ can be obtained by…

We review the most general, local, superconformal boundary conditions for the two-dimensional N=1 and N=2 non-linear sigma models, and analyse them for the N=1 and N=2 supersymmetric WZW models. We find that the gluing map between the left…

A physical and geometrical interpretation of previously introduced tensor operator algebras of U(2,2) in terms of algebras of higher-conformal-spin quantum fields on the anti-de Sitter space AdS_5 is provided. These are higher-dimensional…

The eta-deformation of the AdS_5 x S^5 superstring depends on a non-split r matrix for the superalgebra psu(2,2|4). Much of the investigation into this model has considered one particular choice, however there are a number of inequivalent…

We study the $SU(N)$, level $1$ Wess-Zumino-Witten model, with affine primary fields as spinon fields of fundamental representation. By evaluating the action of the Yangian generators $Q_{0}^{a}, Q_{1}^{a}$ and the Hamiltonian $H_2$ on two…

We study systematically, through two loops, the divergence structure of the supersymmetric WZ model defined on the N=1/2 nonanticommutative superspace. By introducing a spurion field to represent the supersymmetry breaking term F^3 we are…

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…

A general class of deformations of integrable sigma-models with symmetric space F/G target-spaces are found. These deformations involve defining the non-abelian T dual of the sigma-model and then replacing the coupling of the Lagrange…

Using the methods developed in earlier papers we analyze a new type of deformation of the superspace. The twist we use to deform the N=1 SUSY Hopf algebra is non-hermitian and is given in terms of the covariant derivatives $D_\alpha$. A…

We compute, by free field techniques, the scalar product of the SU(2) Chern-Simons states on genus > 1 surfaces. The result is a finite-dimensional integral over positions of ``screening charges'' and one complex modular parameter. It uses…

We study non-abelian gauge theories with fermions in a representation such that the surviving electric 1-form symmetry is $\mathbb{Z}_2$. This includes $SU(N)$ gauge theories with matter in the (anti)symmetric and $N$ even, and $USp(2N)$…

We generalize the BRS method for the (finite-dimensional) quantum gauge theory involved in the zero modes of the monodromy extended SU(2) WZNW model. The generalization consists of a nilpotent operator Q such that $Q^h=0$ ($h=k+2=2,3,...$…

In the ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric coset model, $\frac{SU(N+M)_k \times SO(2 N M)_1}{ SU(N)_{k+M} \times U(1)_{ N M (N+M)(k+N+M)}}$, we construct the $SU(M)$ nonsinglet ${\cal N}=2$ multiplet of spins $(1, \frac{3}{2}, \frac{3}{2}, 2)$ in…

The Green-Schwarz covariant N=2 superstring action can be consistently deduced as the action of the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) sigma model defined on the direct product of two N=1, D=10 Poincar\'e supertranslation groups. Generalizing this…

We study the renormalizable abelian vector-field models in the presence of the Wess-Zumino interaction with the pseudoscalar matter. The renormalizability is achieved by supplementing the standard kinetic term of vector fields with higher…
