The chiral WZNW symplectic form $\Omega^{\rho}_{chir}$ is inverted in the general case. Thereby a precise relationship between the arbitrary monodromy dependent 2-form appearing in $\Omega^{\rho}_{chir}$ and the exchange r-matrix that…
Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models are among the most basic and most studied Conformal Field Theories (CFT). They have had a huge influence not only in physics but also in mathematics, in representation theory and geometry. However their…
It is shown how a chiral Wess-Zumino-Witten theory with globally defined vertex operators and a one-to-one correspondence between fields and states can be constructed. The Hilbert space of this theory is the direct sum of tensor products of…
Manifest T-duality covariance of the one-loop renormalization group flows is shown for a generic bosonic sigma model with an abelian isometry, by referring a set of previously derived consistency conditions to the tangent space of the…
Let g be a complex, semisimple Lie algebra. Drinfeld showed that the quantum group associated to g is isomorphic as an algebra to the trivial deformation of the universal enveloping algebra of g. In this paper we construct explicitly such…
We construct dual Lagrangians for $G/H$ models in two space-time dimensions for arbitrary Lie groups $G$ and $H\subset G$. Our approach does not require choosing coordinates on $G/H$, and allows for a natural generalization to Lie-Poisson…
Conformal symmetry underlies the mathematical description of various two-dimensional integrable models (e.g. for their Lax representation, Poisson algebra, zero curvature representation,...) or of conformal models (for the anomalous Ward…
Work of Buczynska, Wisniewski, Sturmfels and Xu, and the second author has linked the group-based phylogenetic statistical model associated with the group Z/2Z with the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model of conformal field theory associated to…
We find a relation between the spectrum of solitons of massive $N=2$ quantum field theories in $d=2$ and the scaling dimensions of chiral fields at the conformal point. The condition that the scaling dimensions be real imposes restrictions…
In the present paper we introduce a quantum analogue of the classical folding of a simply-laced Lie algebra g to the non-simply-laced algebra g^sigma along a Dynkin diagram automorphism sigma of g For each quantum folding we replace g^sigma…
We study dualities in off-shell 4D N = 2 supersymmetric sigma-models, using the projective superspace approach. These include (i) duality between the real O(2n) and polar multiplets; and (ii) polar-polar duality. We demonstrate that the…
Ten dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory may be described, in the light-cone gauge, in terms of either a vector or spinor superfield satisfying certain projection conditions (type I or II). These have been presented in a $ SO(9,1) $…
We give a physicist oriented survey of Poisson-Lie symmetries of classical systems. We consider finite dimensional geometric actions and the chiral WZNW model as examples for the general construction. An essential point is that quadratic…
Covariance of the one-loop renormalization group equations with respect to Poisson-Lie T-plurality of sigma models is discussed. The role of ambiguities in renormalization group equations of Poisson-Lie sigma models with truncated matrices…
The notion of Poisson manifold with compatible pseudo-metric was introduced by the author in [1]. In this paper, we introduce a new class of Lie algebras which we call a pseudo-Rieamannian Lie algebras. The two notions are strongly related:…
A simple mechanical system, the three-dimensional isotropic rigid rotator, is here investigated as a 0+1 field theory, aiming at further investigating the relation between Generalized/Double Geometry on the one hand and Doubled World-Sheet…
Coupling constant renormalization is investigated in 2 dimensional sigma models related by non Abelian duality transformations. In this respect it is shown that in the one loop order of perturbation theory the duals of a one parameter…
In this paper I revise arguments in favour of the PSL(2$|$2) Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model as a theory of the plateau transition in Integer Quantum Hall effect. I show that all available numerical data (including the correlation…
Quantum Lie algebras $\qlie{g}$ are non-associative algebras which are embedded into the quantized enveloping algebras $U_q(g)$ of Drinfeld and Jimbo in the same way as ordinary Lie algebras are embedded into their enveloping algebras. The…
In analogy to the KP theory, the second Poisson structure for the dispersionless KP hierarchy can be defined on the space of commutative pseudodifferential operators $L=p^n+\sum_{j=-\infty}^{n-1}u_j p^j$. The reduction of the Poisson…
