We propose a world-sheet realization of the zigzag-invariant strings as a perturbed WZNW model at large negative level. We argue that the gravitational dressing produces additional fixed points of the dressed renormalization beta function.…
We show that in any $2n+2$ dimensions, the higher Chern-Simons action built from a semistrict Lie 2-algebra gives a non-trivial higher Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term under a higher gauge transformation. The key point is that the non-zero…

Modelling of complex systems is mainly based on the decomposition of these systems in autonomous elements, and the identification and definitio9n of possible interactions between these elements. For this, the agent-based approach is a…

We show that the WZNW model with arbitrary $\sigma$-model coupling constant may be viewed as a $\sigma$-model perturbation of the WZNW theory around the Witten conformal point. In order for the $\sigma$-model perturbation to be relevant,…

Halpern and Yamron have given a Lorentz, conformal, and Diff S$_2$-invariant world-sheet action for the generic irrational conformal field theory, but the action is highly non-linear. In this paper, we introduce auxiliary fields to find an…
A duality invariant first order action is constructed on the loop group of a Drinfeld double. It gives at the same time the description of both of the pair of $\sigma$-models related by Poisson-Lie T-duality. Remarkably, the action contains…
This article first provides an algorithm W based type inference algorithm for an affine type system. Then the article further assumes the language equipped with the above type system uses lazy evaluation, and explores the possibility of…
The Lee-Wick models are higher-derivative theories that are claimed to be unitary thanks to a peculiar cancelation mechanism. In this paper, we provide a new formulation of the models, to clarify several aspects that have remained quite…

The left and right zero modes of the level k SU(n) WZNW model give rise to a pair of isomorphic (left and right) mutually commuting quantum matrix algebras. For a deformation parameter q being an even (2h-th, h = k + n) root of unity each…
Affine W-algebras are a somewhat complicated family of (topological) associative algebras associated with a semisimple Lie algebra, quantizing functions on the algebraic loop space of Kostant's slice. They have attracted a great deal of…
Poisson-Lie T-duality of the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model having the group manifold of $SU(2)$ as target space is investigated. The whole construction relies on the deformation of the affine current algebra of the model, the semi-direct…
Gauged WZNW models are integrable conformal field theories. We integrate the classical \slu{} theory with periodic boundary conditions, which describes closed strings moving in a curved target-space geometry. We calculate its Poisson…
We show that several WZW coset models can be obtained by applying O(d,d) symmetry transformations (referred to as twisting) on WZW models. This leads to a conjecture that WZW models gauged by U(1)^n subgroup can be obtained by twisting…
