Symmetries in Conformal Field Theory
Let’s begin by recalling a fact about 2d conformal field theories from Phil’s talk last week. Firstly, we can define a complex semigroup A whose objects are conformal equivalence classes of Riemann surfaces which are diffeomorphic to annuli, equipped with parameterisations of their boundary components, one incoming and one outgoing. The semigroup operation is given by gluing an outgoing to an i...
متن کاملOn the Symmetries of Classical String Theory
I discuss some aspects of conformal defects and conformal interfaces in two spacetime dimensions. Special emphasis is placed on their role as spectrumgenerating symmetries of classical string theory. Contributed to the volume celebrating Claudio Bunster’s sixtieth anniversary; based on talks at the Arnold Sommerfeld Workshop on “String Field Theory and Related Aspects”, and for the 50th anniver...
متن کاملHidden symmetries in two dimensional field theory
The bosonization process elegantly shows the equivalence of massless scalar and fermion fields in two space-time dimensions. However, with multiple fermions the technique often obscures global symmetries. Witten’s non-Abelian bosonization makes these symmetries explicit, but at the expense of a somewhat complicated bosonic action. Frenkel and Kac have presented an intricate mathematical formali...
متن کاملQuantum Group Symmetries in Conformal Field Theory
Quantum groups play the role of hidden symmetries of some two-dimensional field theories. We discuss how they appear in this role in the Wess-Zumino-Witten model of conformal field theory.

a) Energy-momentum Based on Noether’s theorem, construct the energy-momentum tensor for classical electromagnetism from the above Lagrangian. Note that the usual procedure does not result in a symmetric tensor. To remedy that, we can add to T μν a term of the form ∂λK λμν , where K is antisymmetric in its first two indices. Such an object is automatically divergenceless, so T̂ μν = T μν + ∂λK λμ...
