Equivariant Cohomology and Gauged Bosonic sigma-Models
J M Figueroa-O'Farrill, S Stanciu
We re-examine the problem of gauging the Wess-Zumino term of a d-dimensional bosonic sigma-model. We phrase this problem in terms of the equivariant cohomology of the target space…
Gauged Wess-Zumino terms and Equivariant Cohomology
J M Figueroa-O'Farrill, S Stanciu
We summarize some results obtained on the problem of gauging the Wess--Zumino term of a d-dimensional bosonic sigma-model. We show that gauged WZ-like terms are in one-to-one corre…
Supersymmetric Integrable Hierarchies and String Theory
Sonia Stanciu
This thesis is roughly organized into two parts. The first one (the first three chapters), expository in nature, attempts to place the current work in context: at first historicall…
On the Supersymmetric BKP-Hierarchy
Eduardo Ramos, Sonia Stanciu
We prove that the supersymmetric BKP-hierarchy of Yu (SBKP_2) is hamiltonian with respect to a nonlinear extension of the N=1 Super-Virasoro algebra (W_SBKP) by fields of spin k, w…
Nonsemisimple Sugawara Constructions
J. M. Figueroa-O'Farrill, S. Stanciu
By a Sugawara construction we mean a generalized Virasoro construction in which the currents are primary fields of conformal weight one. For simple Lie algebras, this singles out t…
