We present a formulation of chiral gauge theories, which admits more general spectra of Dirac operators and reveals considerably more possibilities for the structure of the chiral projections. Our two forms of correlation functions both…
In this article we derive the full interacting effective actions for supersymmetric D-branes in arbitrary bosonic type II supergravity backgrounds. The actions are presented in terms of component fields up to second order in fermions. As…
Exact consistent gravitational anomalies for chiral bosons in two dimensions are treated both with the Schwinger-DeWitt regularization and independently through a cohomological procedure. The diffeomorphism transformations are described by…
Chiral tensors of mixed Young symmetry, which exist in the same spacetime dimensions $2 + 4n$ where chiral $p$-forms can be defined, are investigated. Such chiral tensors have been argued to play a central role in exotic formulations of…
Transport properties are investigated in the two-dimensional dual dynamics of AdS$_{3}$ gravity. By providing boundary conditions that deform the ADM lapse and shift functions, we construct a lower dimensional model comprising two copies of…
We develop a technique that solders the dual aspects of some symmetry following from the bosonisation of two distinct fermionic models, thereby leading to new results which cannot be otherwise obtained. Exploiting this technique, the two…
Two issues regarding chiral $p$-forms are addressed. First, we investigate the topological conditions on spacetime under which the action for a non-chiral $p$-form can be split as the sum of the actions for two chiral $p$-forms, one of each…
Examples for bounded Bose fields in two dimensions are presented.
We revisit the problem of quantizing a chiral boson on a torus. The conventional approach is to extract the partition function of a chiral boson from the path integral of a non-chiral boson. Instead we compute it directly from the chiral…
The scalar fields of supersymmetric models are coordinates of a geometric space. We propose a formulation of supersymmetry that is covariant with respect to reparametrizations of this target space. Employing chiral multiplets as an example,…
T-duality realized on D-brane effective actions is studied from a pure worldvolume point of view. It is proved that invariance in the form of the Dirac-Born-Infeld and Wess-Zumino terms fixes the T-duality transformations of the NS-NS and…
We review various aspects of two dimensional conformal field theories paying close attention to the algebraic structures that intervene. We provide a compact description regarding the appearance of a chiral algebra as the symmetry algebra…
We use holomorphic factorization to find the partition functions of an abelian two-form chiral gauge-field on a flat six-torus. We prove that exactly one of these partition functions is modular invariant. It turns out to be the one that…
Duality groups of Abelian gauge theories on four manifolds and their reduction to two dimensions are considered. The duality groups include elements that relate different space-times in addition to relating different gauge-coupling…
An interesting tool for investigating the quantum features of a field theory is the introduction of compensating fields. For instance, the anomalous divergence of the chiral current can be calculated in the field-antifield formalism from an…
The duality between the Cartesian coordinates on the Minkowski space-time and the Dirac field is investigated. Two distinct possibilities to define this duality are shown to exist. In both cases, the equations satisfied by prepotentials are…
Two dimensional conformal field theories, can be described by their pseudo Goldstone bosons when the conformal symmetry is spontaneously and anomalously broken. We show that the Schwarzian action of these bosons leads to the Cardy formula…
We introduce a new class of duality symmetries amongst quantum field theories. The new class is based upon global spacetime symmetries, such as Poincare invariance and supersymmetry, in the same way as the existing duality transformations…
We give a gauge and manifestly SO(2,2) covariant formulation of the field theory of the self-dual string. The string fields are gauge connections that turn the super-Virasoro generators into covariant derivatives.
The chiral geometry of the multiple chiral doublet bands with identical configuration is discussed for different triaxial deformation parameters $\gamma$ in the particle rotor model with $\pi h_{11/2}\otimes \nu h_{11/2}^{-1}$. The energy…
