We study the twisted version of the supersymmetric $G/T=SU(n)/U(1)^{\otimes(n-1)} gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model. By studying its fixed points under BRST transformation this model is shown to be reduced to a simple topological field…
We investigate how specific free-field realizations of twisted N=2 supersymmetric coset models give rise to natural extensions of the ``matter'' Hilbert spaces in such a manner as to incorporate the various gravitational excitations. In…
A consistent N=1 supersymmetric $\sigma$-model can be constructed, given a K\"ahler manifold by adding chiral matter multiplets. Their scalar components are covariant tensors on the underlying K\"ahler manifold. The K\"ahler U(1)-charges…
We consider a 2-d conformal theory based on (G x G')/ H coset sigma model introduced by Guadagnini, Martellini and Mintchev. It is shown that in the case of {SU(2) x SU(2)}/ U(1) the metric of the corresponding background is of T^{p,q}…
We study the "topological gauged WZW model associated with $SU(2)/U(1)$",which is defined as the twisted version of the corresponding supersymmetric gauged WZW model. It is shown that this model is equivalent to a topological conformal…
It is shown that Kazama-Suzuki conditions for the denominator subgroup of N=2 superconformal $G/H$ coset model determine Generalized K$\ddot{a}$hler geometry on the target space of the corresponding N=2 supersymmetric $\sigma$-model.
The first-order formulation of the G/K symmetric space sigma model of the scalar cosets of the supergravity theories is discussed when there is coupling of (m-1)-form matter fields. The Lie superalgebra which enables the dualized coset…
We demonstrate that all rational models of the N=2 super Virasoro algebra are unitary. Our arguments are based on three different methods: we determine Zhu's algebra (for which we give a physically motivated derivation) explicitly for…
The conformal field theory for the $gl(N,N)$ affine Lie superalgebra in two space-time dimensions is studied. The energy-momentum tensor of the model, with vanishing Virasoro anomaly, is constructed. This theory has a topological symmetry…
Various aspects of orbifolds and cosets of the small $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal algebra are studied. First, we determine minimal strong generators for generic and specific levels. As a corollary, we obtain the vertex algebra of global…
The dualised formulation of the symmetric space sigma model is peformed for a general scalar coset G/K where G is a maximally non-compact group and K is it's maximal compact subgroup.By using the twisted self-duality condition the general…
We show how bosonic (free field) representations for so-called degenerate conformal theories are built by singular vectors in Verma modules. Based on this construction, general expressions of conformal blocks are proposed. As an example we…
We give a geometric description of the fusion rules of the affine Lie algebra su(2)_k at a positive integer level k in terms of the k-th power of the basic gerbe over the Lie group SU(2). The gerbe can be trivialised over conjugacy classes…
The lattice Wess-Zumino model written in terms of the Ginsparg-Wilson relation is invariant under a generalized supersymmetry transformation which is determined by an iterative procedure in the coupling constant. By studying the associated…
The fact that neutrinos are massive suggests that the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) might be extended in order to include three gauge-singlet neutrino superfields with Yukawa couplings of the type $H_2 L \nu^c$. We propose to…
Matrix factorisations describe B-type boundary conditions in N=2 supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg models. At the infrared fixed point, they correspond to superconformal boundary states. We investigate the relation between boundary states and…
We study a Wess-Zumino-Witten model with target space AdS_3 x (S^3 x S^3 x S^1)/Z_2. This allows us to construct space-time N=3 superconformal theories. By combining left-, and right-moving parts through a GSO and a Z_2 projections, a new…
We explicitly construct the extension of the N=2 super Virasoro algebra by two super primary fields of dimension two and three with vanishing u(1)-charge. Using a super covariant formalism we obtain two different solutions both consistent…
The highest weight modules of the chiral algebra of orthogonal WZW models at level one possess a realization in fermionic representation spaces; the Kac-Moody and Virasoro generators are represented as unbounded limits of even CAR algebras.…
