The Poisson--Weil sigma model, worked out by us recently, stems from gauging a Hamiltonian Lie group symmetry of the target space of the Poisson sigma model. Upon gauge fixing of the BV master action, it yields interesting topological field…

The chiral Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model provides the simplest class of rational conformal field theories which exhibit a non-abelian braid-group statistics and an associated "quantum symmetry". The canonical derivation of the…

It is shown that the asymmetric chiral gauging of the WZW models give rise to consistent string backgrounds. The target space structure of the ${[{SL(2,\Re)/ {SO(1,1)}}]}_L \bigotimes {[{SL(2,\Re)/U(1)}]}_R$ model is analyzed and the…

We provide the E-model formulation of the non-deformed Cherednik model as well as of its Poisson-Lie and Poisson-Lie-WZ deformed version. In all three cases we solve the sufficient condition of integrability by using the E-model formalism.…

The G/G WZW model results from the WZW-model by a standard procedure of gauging. G/G WZW models are members of Dirac sigma models, which also contain twisted Poisson sigma models as other examples. We show how the general class of Dirac…

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…

We consider gauged WZW models based on a four dimensional non-semi-simple group. We obtain conformal $\s$-models in $D=3$ spacetime dimensions (with exact central charge $c=3$) by axially and vectorially gauging a one-dimensional subgroup.…

Poisson-Lie T-duality of the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model having the group manifold of $SU(2)$ as target space is investigated. The whole construction relies on the deformation of the affine current algebra of the model, the semi-direct…

We consider the integrability of a two-parameter deformation of the Wess-Zumino-Witten model, previously introduced in relation with Poisson-Lie T-duality. The resulting family of Poisson-Lie dual models is shown to be integrable by using…

Some remarks are made about free anomaly groups in gauged WZW models. Considering a quite general action, anomaly cancellation is analyzed. The possibility of gauging left and right sectors independently in some cases is remarked. In…

We consider WZW models based on the non-semi-simple algebras that they were recently constructed as contractions of corresponding algebras for semi-simple groups. We give the explicit expression for the action of these models, as well as…

We investigate the correspondence between two dimensional topological gauge theories and quantum integrable systems discovered by Moore, Nekrasov, Shatashvili. This correspondence means that the hidden quantum integrable structure exists in…

We consider the problem of the decomposition of the R\'enyi entanglement entropies in theories with a non-abelian symmetry by doing a thorough analysis of Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models. We first consider $SU(2)_k$ as a case study and then…

In this paper, we study conformal points among the class of $\mathcal{E}$-models. The latter are $\sigma$-models formulated in terms of a current Poisson algebra, whose Lie-theoretic definition allows for a purely algebraic description of…
