We compute, by free field techniques, the scalar product of the SU(2) Chern-Simons states on genus > 1 surfaces. The result is a finite-dimensional integral over positions of ``screening charges'' and one complex modular parameter. It uses…

We express the correlation functions of the SU(2) WZW conformal field theory on Riemann surfaces of genus >1 by finite dimensional integrals.

We analyse the SU(2)_k WZNW models beyond the integrable representations and in particular the case of SU(2)_0. We find that these are good examples of logarithmic conformal field theories as indecomposable representations are naturally…

We introduce two-types of topologically twisted Chern-Simons-matter theories on the direct product of circle and genus-h Riemann surface (S^1 \times \Sigma_h). The partition functions of first model agrees with the partition functions of a…

We show that in any $2n+2$ dimensions, the higher Chern-Simons action built from a semistrict Lie 2-algebra gives a non-trivial higher Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term under a higher gauge transformation. The key point is that the non-zero…

We introduce a new class of two dimensional conformal field theories by extending Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models to chiral algebras with matrix-valued levels. The new CFTs are based on holomorphic currents with an operator product…

We propose an su(2) WZNW model with a non-rational level and a continuous spectrum based on the non-unitary hermitian representations of the chiral algebra su(2)_k. It is conjectured that for this model the continuous spectra counterpart of…

This letter continues the program aimed at analysis of the scalar product of states in the Chern-Simons theory. It treats the elliptic case with group SU(2). The formal scalar product is expressed as a multiple finite dimensional integral…

A closed formula for the structure constants in the SL(2,C)/SU(2) WZNW model is derived by a method previously used in Liouville theory. With the help of a reflection amplitude that follows from the structure constants one obtains a…

Motivated by a careful analysis of the Laplacian on the supergroup $SU(2|1)$ we formulate a proposal for the state space of the $SU(2|1)$ WZNW model. We then use properties of $\hat{sl}(2|1)$ characters to compute the partition function of…

We derive a relation between correlation functions of supergroup WZNW models and conformal field theories with extended superconformal symmetry. The supergroups considered have a bosonic subgroup of the form SL(2) x A for some Lie group A.…

We give explicit field theoretical representations for the observables of 2+1 dimensional Chern-Simons theory in terms of gauge invariant composites of 2D WZW fields. To test our identification we compute some basic Wilson loop correlators…

We show that gauge invariant composites in the fermionic realization of $SU(N)_1$ conformal field theory explicitly exhibit the holomorphic factorization of the corresponding WZW primaries. In the $SU(2)_1$ case we show that the holomorphic…

We introduce a consistent gauge extension of the SL(2,R) WZNW system, defined by a difference of two simple WZNW actions. By integrating out some dynamical variables in the functional integral, we show that the resulting effective theory…

Gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten theory for compact groups is considered. It is shown that this theory has fermionic BRST-like symmetry and may be exactly solved using localization approach. As an example we calculate functional integral for the…

A complete classification of the WZNW modular invariant partition functions is known for very few affine algebras and levels, the most significant being all levels of SU(2), and level 1 of all simple algebras. In this paper we solve the…

By exploiting a correspondence between Random Regge triangulations (i.e., Regge triangulations with variable connectivity) and punctured Riemann surfaces, we propose a possible characterization of the SU(2) Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a…

We study a matrix model obtained by dimensionally reducing Chern-Simon theory on S^3. We find that the matrix integration is decomposed into sectors classified by the representation of SU(2). We show that the N-block sectors reproduce SU(N)…

The partition function of a family of four dimensional N=2 gauge theories has been recently related to correlation functions of two dimensional conformal Toda field theories. For SU(2) gauge theories, the associated two dimensional theory…

The semiclassical approximation for the partition function in Chern-Simons gauge theory is derived using the invariant integration method. Volume and scale factors which were undetermined and had to be fixed by hand in previous derivations…
