We introuduce a unified method which can be applied to any WZW model at arbitrary level to search systematically for modular invariant physical partition functions. Our method is based essentially on modding out a known theory on group…
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…
We study a canonical quantization of the Wess--Zumino--Witten (WZW) model which depends on two integer parameters rather than one. The usual theory can be obtained as a contraction, in which our two parameters go to infinity keeping the…

We consider a class of sigma models that appears from a generalisation of the gauged WZW model parametrised by a constant matrix $Q$. Particular values of $Q$ correspond to the standard gauged WZW models, chiral gauged WZW models and a…
We derive compact formulae for modular transformations of WZ characters. We start with algebra A_1 at positive level k=n-2, for which we can easily provide some description of isometry group and genus formula in a special case. We also…
Two series of integrable theories are constructed which have soliton solutions and can be thought of as generalizations of the sine-Gordon theory. They exhibit internal symmetries and can be described as gauged WZW theories with a potential…
String diagrams turn algebraic equations into topological moves that have recurring shapes, involving the sliding of one diagram past another. We individuate, at the root of this fact, the dual nature of polygraphs as presentations of…
In this paper, we completely classify the rational weights $k$ for which the Kaneko-Zagier (KZ) differential equation admits a fundamental system of solutions consisting of modular forms for a principal congruence subgroup $\Gamma(N)$. By…
Let the finite group $G$ act linearly on the vector space $V$ over the field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic. If $H<G$ is a subgroup the extension of invariant rings $k[V]^G\subset k[V]^H$ is studied using modules of covariants. An example…
Let $W$ be a finite-dimensional representation of a reductive algebraic group $G$. The invariant Hilbert scheme $\mathcal{H}$ is a moduli space that classifies the $G$-stable closed subschemes $Z$ of $W$ such that the affine algebra $k[Z]$…

WZW models live on a moduli space parameterized by current-current deformations. The moduli space defines an ensemble of conformal field theories, which generically have $N$ abelian conserved currents and central charge $c > N$. We…
