WZW orientifolds and finite group cohomology
Krzysztof Gawedzki, Rafal R. Suszek, Konrad Waldorf
The simplest orientifolds of the WZW models are obtained by gauging a Z_2 symmetry group generated by a combined involution of the target Lie group G and of the worldsheet. The act…
Boundary G/G theory and topological Poisson-Lie sigma model
Fernando Falceto, Krzysztof Gawedzki
We study a boundary version of the gauged WZW model with a Poisson-Lie group G as the target. The Poisson-Lie structure of G is used to define the Wess-Zumino term of the action on…
Conformal field theory: a case study
Krzysztof Gawedzki
This is a set of introductory lecture notes devoted to the Wess-Zumino-Witten model of two-dimensional conformal field theory. We review the construction of the exact solution of t…
Scaling Laws in Turbulence
Krzysztof Gawedzki
The largely open problem of scaling laws in fully developed turbulence is discussed, with the stress put on similarities and differences with scaling in field theory. A soluble mod…
Non-Compact WZW Conformal Field Theories
Krzysztof Gawedzki
We discuss non-compact WZW sigma models, especially the ones with symmetric space as the target, for a compact Lie group. They offer examples of non-rational conf…
On quantum group symmetries of conformal field theories
Fernando Falceto, Krzysztof Gawedzki
The appearance of quantum groups in conformal field theories is traced back to the Poisson-Lie symmetries of the classical chiral theory. A geometric quantization of the classical…
