We construct an explicit representation of the Sugawara generators for arbitrary level in terms of the homogeneous Heisenberg subalgebra, which generalizes the well-known expression at level 1. This is achieved by employing a physical…
An affine vertex operator construction at arbitrary level is presented which is based on a completely compactified chiral bosonic string whose momentum lattice is taken to be the (Minkowskian) affine weight lattice. This construction is…
In this paper we consider Wakimoto free field realizations of simple affine Lie algebras, a subject already much studied. We present three new sets of results. (i) Based on quantizing differential operator realizations of the corresponding…
In this paper free field realizations of affine current superalgebras are considered. Based on quantizing differential operator realizations of the corresponding basic Lie superalgebras, general and simple expressions for both the bosonic…
After a brief overview of the operator formalism for conventional string theory, an operator formalism for ambitwistor string theory is presented. It is shown how tree level supergravity scattering amplitudes are recovered in this…
We show that strictly local observables with arbitrarily small support in space-time exist in covariant free open bosonic string field theory. The main ingredient of the proof is a modified version of the well known DDF operators, which we…
String theory with one unit of NS-NS flux on $\text{AdS}_3 \times \text{S}^3 \times \mathbb{T}^4$ has been recently realised to be the exact dual of the symmetric orbifold of $\mathbb{T}^4$. In the hybrid formalism of Berkovits, Vafa and…
In its traditional form, the string field in closed string field theory is constrained by the level-matching condition, which is imposed beside the action. By analogy with the similar problem for the Ramond sector, it was understood by…
The question of self-adjoint realizations of sign-indefinite second order differential operators is discussed in terms of a model problem. Operators of the type $-\frac{d}{dx} \sgn (x) \frac{d}{dx}$ are generalized to finite, not…
Puff Field Theory is a low energy decoupling regime of string theory that still retains the non-local attributes of the parent theory - while preserving isotropy for its non-local degrees of freedom. It realizes an extended holographic…
In this paper we provide an extension theorem for fractional powers of some pseudo-differential operators $P(D)$. These extensions yields realization of the fractional powers of some pseudo-differential operators in the spirit of Caffarelli…
The higher Sugawara operators acting on the Verma modules over the affine Kac-Moody algebra at the critical level are related to the higher Hamiltonians of the Gaudin model due to work of Feigin, Frenkel and Reshetikhin. An explicit…
This contribution reviews recent progress in constructing affine Lie algebras at arbitrary level in terms of vertex operators. The string model describes a completely compactified subcritical chiral bosonic string whose momentum lattice is…
In a vertex algebraic framework, we present an explicit description of the twisted Wakimoto realizations of the affine Lie algebras in correspondence with an arbitrary finite order automorphism and a compatible integral gradation of a…
We supplement the discussion of Moore and Reshetikhin and others by finding new semiclassical nonabelian vertex operators for the chiral, antichiral and nonchiral primary fields of WZW theory. These new nonabelian vertex operators are the…
While multifractal spectra are convex, general field theoretic arguments show that power of field operators $\phi^f$ yield a concave spectrum of exponents as function of $f$. This is resolved by appropriate choice of operators to describe…
In the framework of the free field representation we obtain exact form factors of local operators in the two-dimensional affine Toda theories of the $A^{(1)}_{L-1}$ series. The construction generalizes Lukyanov's well-known construction to…
In this thesis steps are taken in the direction of formulating non-critical strings in the framework of the $G/G$ approach. A major part of the thesis is concerned with conformal field theory based on affine $SL(2)$ current algebra, in…
In the AdS/CFT correspondence, wrapped D3-branes (such as "giant gravitons") on the string theory side of the correspondence have been identified with Pfaffian, determinant and subdeterminant operators on the field theory side. We…
We present free field realizations for the associated vertex operator algebras of a number of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories. Our constructions utilize an exceptionally small set of chiral bosons whose number…
