Some Aspects of the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Jan de Boer, Liat Maoz, Asad Naqvi
This is a very brief review of some aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence with an emphasis on the role of the topology of the boundary and the meaning of the sum over bulk geometri…
Triples, Fluxes, and Strings
Jan de Boer, Robbert Dijkgraaf, Kentaro Hori +4
We study string compactifications with sixteen supersymmetries. The moduli space for these compactifications becomes quite intricate in lower dimensions, partly because there are m…
Construction of All WZW Orbifold Actions
J. de Boer, M. B. Halpern, C. Park
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors; its contents are superseded by that of hep-th/0105305 and hep-th/0212275.
Unification of the General Non-Linear Sigma Model and the Virasoro Master Equation
J. de Boer, M. B. Halpern
The Virasoro master equation describes a large set of conformal field theories known as the affine-Virasoro constructions, in the operator algebra (affine Lie algebra) of the WZW m…
The equivalence between the operator approach and the path integral approach for quantum mechanical non-linear sigma models
Jan de Boer, Bas Peeters, Kostas Skenderis +1
We give background material and some details of calculations for two recent papers [1,2] where we derived a path integral representation of the transition element for supersymmetri…
W Algebras, W Gravities and their Moduli Spaces
F. A. Bais, T. Tjin, P. van Driel +2
By generalizing the Drinfel'd--Sokolov reduction we construct a large class of W algebras as reductions of Kac--Moody algebras. Furthermore we construct actions, invariant under lo…
