It is proposed that instead of normal representations one should look at cocycles of group extensions valued in certain groups of unitary operators acting in a Hilbert space (e.g the Fock space of chiral fermions), when dealing with groups…
We write down a general geometric action principle for spinning strings in $d$-dimensional Minkowski space, which is formulated without the use of Grassmann coordinates. Instead, it is constructed in terms of the pull-back of a left…
We examine the proposal of [29] that M-theory may admit a Sugawara-type current algebra formulation based on $E_{11} \otimes_s l_1$. Motivated by the role of generalized coordinates in E-theory, we ask whether current algebra relations of…
We present a geometric formulation of type-IIA and -IIB superstring theories in which the Wess-Zumino term is second order in the supersymmetric currents. The currents are constructed using supergroup manifolds corresponding to…
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…
Conserved and commuting charges are investigated in both bosonic and supersymmetric classical chiral models, with and without Wess-Zumino terms. In the bosonic theories, there are conserved currents based on symmetric invariant tensors of…
We formulate conformal field theory in the setting of algebraic quantum field theory as Haag-Kastler nets of local observable algebras with diffeomorphism covariance on the two-dimensional Minkowski space. We then obtain a decomposition of…
This is an elementary review of our recent work on the classification of the spectra of those two-dimensional rational conformal field theories (RCFTs) whose (maximal) chiral algebras are current algebras. We classified all possible…
The construction of the effective Lagrangian relevant for the mesonic sector of QCD in the large N_c limit meets with a few rather subtle problems. We thoroughly examine these and show that, if the variables of the effective theory are…
We study the conformal field theory of a free massless scalar field living on the half line with interactions introduced via a periodic potential at the boundary. An SU(2) current algebra underlies this system and the interacting boundary…
We summarise some of our recent works on $L_\infty$-algebras and quasi-groups with regard to higher principal bundles and their applications in twistor theory and gauge theory. In particular, after a lightning review of $L_\infty$-algebras,…
Conformal field theories play a central role in modern theoretical physics with many applications to the understanding of phase transitions, gauge theories and even the quantum physics of gravity, through Maldacena's celebrated holographic…
Using techniques from the theory of von Neumann algebras, we propose a framework for addressing questions of controllability of bilinear systems on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. In the setup, we assume only that the drift and control…
We present a theory of Galilean-invariant conventional and chiral $p_x \pm ip_y$ fermionic superfluids at zero temperature in two spatial dimensions in terms of a dual gauge theory. Our formulation is general coordinate invariant. The…
In this talk I want to explain the operator substractions needed to regularize gauge currents in a second quantized theory. The case of space-time dimension $3+1$ is considered in detail. In presence of chiral fermions the regularization…
The fractional supersymmetry chiral algebras in two-dimensional conformal field theory are extended Virasoro algebras with fractional spin currents. We show that associativity and closure of these algebras determines their structure…
In this talk I want to explain the operator substractions needed to renormalize gauge currents in a second quantized theory. The case of space-time dimensions $3+1$ is considered in detail. In presence of chiral fermions the renormalization…
We present a current algebra for a generalized two-site Bose-Hubbard model and use it to get the quantum dynamics of the currents. For different choices of the Hamiltonian parameters we get different currents dynamics. We generalize the…
We consider a simple model of a scalar field with $U(1)$ current algebra gauge symmetry coupled to $2D$-gravity in order to clarify the origin of Stuckelberg symmetry in the $w_{\infty}$-gravity theory. An analogous symmetry takes place in…
We present a geometric formulation of super $p$--brane theories in which the Wess--Zumino term is $(p+1)$--th order in the supersymmetric currents, and hence is manifestly supersymmetric. The currents are constructed using a supergroup…
