The Geometry of Wzw Branes
The structures in target space geometry that correspond to conformally invariant boundary conditions in WZW theories are determined both by studying the scattering of closed string states and by investigating the algebra of open string vertex operators. In the limit of large level, we find branes whose world volume is a regular conjugacy class or, in the case of symmetry breaking boundary condi...
متن کاملWZW branes and gerbes
We reconsider the role that bundle gerbes play in the formulation of the WZW model on closed and open surfaces. In particular, we show how an analysis of bundle gerbes on groups covered by SU(N) permits to determine the spectrum of symmetric branes in the boundary version of the WZW model with such groups as the target. We also describe a simple relation between the open string amplitudes in th...
متن کاملBranes and BPS Configurations of Non-Commutative/Commutative Gauge Theories
We study BPS Dirac monopole in U(1) gauge theory on non-commutative spacetime. The corresponding brane configuration is obtained in the equivalent ordinary gauge theory through the map proposed by Seiberg and Witten. This configuration coincides exactly with a tilted D-string as predicted. This study provides an interesting check of the equivalence of the non-commutative and ordinary gauge theo...
متن کاملAbelian and non-Abelian branes in WZW models and gerbes
We discuss how gerbes may be used to set up a consistent Lagrangian approach to the WZW models with boundary. The approach permits to study in detail possible boundary conditions that restrict the values of the fields on the worldsheet boundary to brane submanifolds in the target group. Such submanifolds are equipped with an additional geometric structure that is summarized in the notion of a g...
متن کاملNon-commutative Algebraic Geometry
0 Introduction This is a reasonably faithful account of the ve lectures I delivered at the summer course \Geometria Algebraica no Commutativa y Espacios Cuanti-cos" for graduate students, in Spain, July 25{29, 1994. The material covered was, for the most part, an abridged version of Artin and Zhang's paper 2]. Fix a eld k. Given a Z-graded k-algebra, A say, which for simplicity is assumed to be...
