We consider dynamics of scalar and vector fields on gravitational backgrounds of the Wess-Zumino-Witten models. For SO(4) and its cosets, we demonstrate full separation of variables for all fields and find a close analogy with a similar…
In this paper, we study the theory of non-abelian extensions of a Leibniz conformal algebra $R$ by a Leibniz conformal algebra $H$ and prove that all the non-abelian extensions are classified by non-abelian $2$nd cohomology $H^2_{nab}(R,H)$…

We discuss certain aspects of the combinatorial approach to the differential geometry of non-abelian gerbes, due to W. Messing and the author (arXiv:math.AG/0106083), and give a more direct derivation of the associated cocycle equations.…
We formulate the Dirac oscillator covariantly in the presence of external non-Abelian gauge fields. More precisely, the matter field is written as $\Psi_{\alpha A}(x)$, where $\alpha$ denotes the Dirac index and $A$ the isospin index, so…
We investigate the Kac-Moody algebra of noncommutative Wess-Zumino-Witten model and find its structure to be the same as the commutative case. Various kinds of gauged noncommutative WZW models are constructed. In particular, noncommutative…
A two dimensional model of chiral bosons in non-commutative field space is considered in the framework of the Batalin-Fradkin-Tyutin (BFT) Hamiltonian embedding method converting the second-class constrained system into the first-class one.…
We quantize the $SU(n)$ Wess-Zumino-Witten model in terms of left and right chiral variables choosing an appropriate gauge and we compare our results with the results that have been previously obtained in the algebraic treatment of the…
We discuss non-Abelian bosonization of two and three dimensional fermions using a path-integral framework in which the bosonic action follows from the evaluation of the fermion determinant for the Dirac operator in the presence of a vector…
It is a well known result that the scalar field spectrum is composed of two chiral particles (Floreanini-Jackiw particles) of opposite chiralities. Also, that a Siegel particle spectrum is formed by a nonmover field (a Hull's noton) and a…
A definition of non-abelian genus zero open Wilson surfaces is proposed. The ambiguity in surface-ordering is compensated by the gauge transformations.
We derive the current algebra of principal chiral models with a Wess-Zumino term. At the critical coupling where the model becomes conformally invariant (Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten theory), this algebra reduces to two commuting Kac-Moody…
The paper deals with a non--minimally coupled scalar field in the background of homogeneous but anisotropic Kantowski--Sachs space--time model. The form of the coupling function of the scalar field with gravity and the potential function of…
In this work we deal with the extension of the Kaluza-Klein approach to a non-Abelian gauge theory; we show how we need to consider the link between the n-dimensional model and a four-dimensional observer physics, in order to reproduce…
