Non-maximally symmetric D-branes on group manifold in the Lagrangian approach

Abstract

Recently, Maldacena, Moore and Seiberg introduced non-maximally symmetric boundary states on group manifold using T-duality. In the work presented here we suggest simple description of these branes in terms of group elements. We show that T-dualization actually reduces to multiplication of conjugacy classes by the corresponding U(1) subgroups. Using this description we find the two-form trivializing the WZW three-form on the branes. SU(2) and $SL(2,R)$ examples are considered in details.
