BV-Structure of the Cohomology of Nilpotent Subalgebras and the Geometry of (W-) Strings
Peter Bouwknegt, Jim Mccarthy, Krzysztof Pilch
Given a simple, simply laced, complex Lie algebra $\bfg$ corresponding to the Lie group , let $\bfnp$ be the subalgebra generated by the positive roots. In this paper we constru…
Chiral ring in the 4D W_3 string
Jim McCarthy
I summarize some recent results obtained in collaboration with P.~Bouwknegt and K.~Pilch on the spectrum of physical states in $\cW_3$ gravity coupled to matter. In particula…
Operator algebra of the 4D W_3 string
Peter Bouwknegt, Jim McCarthy, Krzysztof Pilch
The noncritical $\cW_3$ string is a model of $\cW_3$ gravity coupled to two free scalar fields. In this paper we discuss its BRST quantization in direct analogy with that of t…
The W_3 algebra: modules, semi-infinite cohomology and BV-algebras
Peter Bouwknegt, Jim McCarthy, Krzysztof Pilch
The noncritical string is a model of gravity coupled to two free scalar fields. In this paper we discuss its BRST quantization in direct analogy with that of the…
