We demonstrate the equivalence of Kazama-Suzuki cosets $G(m,n,k)$ and $G(k,n,m)$ based on complex Grassmannians by proving that the corresponding conformal precosheaves are isomorphic. We also determine all the irreducible representations…
We investigate in detail the topological gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models describing topological Kazama-Suzuki models based on complex Grassmannians. We show that there is a topological sector in which the ring of observables (constructed…
Limits of families of conformal field theories are of interest in the context of AdS/CFT dualities. We explore here the large level limit of the two-dimensional N=(2,2) superconformal W_{n+1} minimal models that appear in the context of the…
Mappings between certain infinite series of N=2 superconformal coset models are constructed. They make use of level-rank dualities for B, C and D type theories. While the WZW level-rank dualities do not constitute isomorphisms of the…
Kazama-Suzuki coset models is an interesting class of N=2 supersymmetric models of conformal field theory which are used to build realistic models of superstring in 4 dimensions. We formulate Kazama-Suzuki construction of N=2 superconformal…
Based on the Kazama-Suzuki type coset construction and its inverse coset between the subregular $\mathcal{W}$-algebras for $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ and the principal $\mathcal{W}$-superalgebras for $\mathfrak{sl}_{1|n}$, we prove weight-wise…
The unitary $N = 2$ superconformal minimal models have a long history in string theory and mathematical physics, while their non-unitary (and logarithmic) cousins have recently attracted interest from mathematicians. Here, we give an…
We study the $N = 2$ coset models in their formulation as supersymmetric gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models. A model based on the coset $G/H$ is invariant under a symmetry group isomorphic to $\Z_{k+Q}$, where $k$ is the level of the model…
We extend the Kazama-Suzuki construction of models with N=(2,2) world-sheet supersymmetry to cosets S/K of supergroups. Among the admissible target spaces that allow for an extension to N=2 superconformal algebras are some simple Lie…
We give a path-integral proof of level-rank duality in Kazama-Suzuki models for world-sheets of spherical topology.
We study global aspects of N=2 Kazama-Suzuki coset models by investigating topological G/H Kazama-Suzuki models in a Lagrangian framework based on gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models. We first generalize Witten's analysis of the holomorphic…
We construct Cardy states in the Kazama-Suzuki model G/H x U(1), which satisfy the boundary condition twisted by the automorphisms of the coset theory. We classify all the automorphisms of G/H x U(1) induced from those of the G theory. The…
We study the holographic duality between the M x M matrix extension of Vasiliev higher spin theories on AdS3 and the large N limit of SU(N+M)/SU(N) x U(1) type cosets. We present a simplified proof for the agreement of the spectra and…
In hep-th/9506151 we started a programme devoted to the systematic study of the conformal field theories derived from WZW models based on nonreductive Lie groups. In this, the second part, we continue this programme with a look at the N=1…
A description is given of how to construct (0,2) supersymmetric conformal field theories as coset models. These models may be used as non-trivial backgrounds for Heterotic String Theory. They are realised as a combination of an anomalously…
We study the problem of constructing N=2 superconformal algebras out of an N=1 affine Lie algebra. Following a recent independent observation of Getzler and the author, we derive a simplified set of N=2 master equations, which we then…
We consider the problem of computing N=2 superconformal block functions. We argue that the Kazama-Suzuki coset realization of N=2 superconformal algebra in terms of the affine sl(2) algebra provides relations between N=2 and affine sl(2)…
A description is given of how to construct $(0,2)$ supersymmetric conformal field theories as coset models. These models may be used as non--trivial backgrounds for Heterotic String Theory. They are realised as a combination of an…
We construct topological Wess-Zumino term for supercoset sigma-models on various AdS(3) backgrounds. For appropriately chosen set of parameters, the sigma-model remains integrable when the Wess-Zumino term is added to the action. Moreover,…
Usual coset construction $\SU{k}\times\SU{l}/\SU{k+l}$ of Wess--Zumino conformal field theory is presented as a coset construction of minimal models. This new coset construction can be defined rigorously and allows one to calculate easily…
