We introduce a set of gauge invariant fermion fields in fermionic coset models and show that they play a very central role in the description of several Conformal Field Theories (CFT's). In particular we discuss the explicit realization of…
We study the $su(2)$ conformal field theory in its spinon description, adapted to the Yangian invariance. By evaluating the action of the Yangian generators on the primary fields, we find a new connection between this conformal field theory…
We study the description of the $SU(2)$, level $k=1$, Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theory in terms of the modes of the spin-1/2 affine primary field $\phi^\alpha$. These are shown to satisfy generalized `canonical commutation…
In this work, we study a gauge invariant local non-polynomial composite spinor field in the fundamental representation in order to establish its renormalizability. Similar studies were already done in the case of pure Yang-Mills theories…
It is shown that Weyl spinors in 4D Minkowski space are composed of primary fields of half-integer conformal weights. This yields representations of fermionic 2-point functions in terms of correlators of primary fields with a factorized…
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 show that various actions of topological conformal theories that were suggested recentely are particular cases of a general action. We prove the invariance of these models under transformations generated by nilpotent fermionic generators…
In these lectures, we study and compare two different formulations of $SU(2)$, level $k=1$, Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theory. The first, conventional, formulation employs the affine symmetry of the model; in this approach…
Symmetric Hilbert spaces such as the bosonic and the fermionic Fock spaces over some `one particle space' $\K$ are formed by certain symmetrization procedures performed on the full Fock space. We investigate alternative ways of…
We introduce a gauge group of internal symmetries of an ambient algebra as a new tool for investigating the superselection structure of WZW theories and the representation theory of the corresponding affine Lie algebras. The relevant…
We compute the gauge field functional integral giving the scalar product of the SU(2) Chern-Simons theory states on a Riemann surface of genus > 1. The result allows to express the higher genera partition functions of the SU(2) WZNW…
The coupling of spin 0 and spin 1 external fields to Dirac fermions defines a theory which displays gauge chiral symmetry. Quantum mechanically, functional integration of the fermions yields the determinant of the Dirac operator, known as…
Composite Higgs models are a class of models proposed to address the hierarchy and naturalness problems associated with the Standard Model fundamental scalar Higgs. $SU(2)$ with two fundamental flavours is a minimal model for the composite…
We complete the analysis of the effective field theory at the electroweak scale for minimal models of fundamental partial compositeness. Specifically, we consider fermions in the complex and real representation of the gauge group underlying…
We describe our recent lattice study of SU(4) gauge theory with fermions in the fundamental and sextet representations. In this theory, a new type of baryon consists of quarks in both representations. The spectrum of these "chimera baryons"…
We construct a family of 1D and 2D long-range SU(2) spin models as parent Hamiltonians associated with infinite dimensional matrix product states that arise from simple current correlation functions in $SU(2)_k$ WZW models. Our results…
We study the conformal window of gauge theories containing fermionic matter fields, where the gauge group is any of the exceptional groups with the fermions transforming according to the fundamental and adjoint representations and the…
We present a general derivation of semi-fermionic representation for generators of SU(N) group as a bilinear combination of Fermi operators. The constraints are fulfilled by means of imaginary Lagrange multipliers. The important case of…
The possibility of building all particles from spinless constituents is explored. Composite fermions are formed from bosonic carriers of electric and magnetic charge of a composite abelian gauge field. Internal attributes are accounted for…
We develop a dynamical, Lorentz invariant theory of composite scalars in configuration space consisting of chiral fermions, interacting by the perturbative exchange of a massive "gluon" of coupling $g_0$ and mass $M_0^2$ (the coloron…
