SU ( 2 ) 0 and OSp ( 2 | 2 ) − 2 WZNW models : Two current algebras , one Logarithmic CFT
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the SU(2)0 WZNW model has a hidden OSp(2|2)−2 symmetry. Both these theories are known to have logarithms in their correlation functions. We also show that, like OSp(2|2)−2, the logarithmic structure present in the SU(2)0 model is due to the underlying c = −2 sector. This leads us to conjecture that the continuous representation of SU(2) can be produced by the fusion of several discrete ones. We also discuss some of the novel boundary effects which can take place. We also show that the quantum Hamiltonian reduction of SU(2)0 leads very directly to the correlation functions of the c = −2 model. [email protected] [email protected]

Vacuum Instability in Chern-simons Theory, Null Vectors and Two-dimensional Logarithmic Operators
A new relation between two-dimensional conformal field theories and three-dimensional topologically massive gauge theories is found, where the dynamical nature of the 3d theory is ultimately important. It is shown that the those primary states in CFT which have non-unitary descendants correspond in the 3d theory to supercritical charges and cause vacuum instability. It is also shown that logari...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Construction of W-Algebras from Super Toda and WZNW Theories
A systematic construction of super W-algebras in terms of the WZNW model based on a super Lie algebra is presented. These are shown to be the symmetry structure of the super Toda models, which can be obtained from the WZNW theory by Hamiltonian reduction. A classification, according to the conformal spin defined by an improved energymomentum tensor, is discussed in general terms for all super L...
متن کاملThe Mini - Superspace Limit of the Sl ( 2 , C ) / Su ( 2 ) - Wznw Model
Many qualitatively new features of WZNW models associated to noncompact cosets are due to zero modes with continuous spectrum. Insight may be gained by reducing the theory to its zero-mode sector, the mini-superspace limit. This will be discussed in some detail for the example of SL(2,C)/SU(2)-WZNW model. The mini-superspace limit of this model can be formulated as baby-CFT. Spectrum, structure...
متن کاملLogarithmic operators in SL ( 2 , IR ) WZNW model , Singletons and AdS 3 / ( L ) CFT 2 correspondence
We discuss the origin of logarithmic operators in AdS 3 string theory. It is shown that j = − 1 2 representation can give logarithmic correlation functions in the boundary CFT. Singletons play a special role in AdS 3 /CF T 2 correspondence as they also give logarithmic correlation functions in boundary CFT. For this one has to cross the j = − 1 2 barrier and define correlation functions for j >...
متن کاملLogarithmic Currents in the SU (2)0 WZNW model
We study four point correlation functions of the spin 1 operators in the SU(2)0 WZNW model. The general solution which is everywhere single-valued has logarithmic terms and thus has a natural interpretation in terms of logarithmic conformal field theory. These are not invariant under all the crossing symmetries but can remain if fields possess additional quantum numbers. [email protected]...
