    Berezin Quantization, Conformal Welding and the Bott–Virasoro Group

    Following Nag–Sullivan, we study the representation of the group \(\textrm{Diff}^+(S^1)\) ...

    Testing Seiberg-Witten Solution

    One of the sources of the recent duality revolution in string theory is the solution of N. Seiberg and E. Witten [1] of N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory which has been tested in many indirect ways but never...

    Central extensions of gauge groups revisited

    We present an explicit construction for the central extension of the group Map(X, G) where X is a compact manifold and G is a Lie group. If X is a complex curve we obtain a simple construction of the extension b...

    Quantum groups and WZNW models

    An explanation of the appearance of quantum groups in chiral WZNW models is given. Invariance of the theory under quantum group action is discussed.

    From geometric quantization to conformal field theory

    Investigation of 2d conformal field theory in terms of geometric quantization is given. We quantize the so-called model space of the compact Lie group, Virasoro group and Kac-Moody group. In particular, we give a...

    From Geometric Quantization to Conformal Field Theory

    In this paper we proceed with studying the 2d conformal field theories in terms of geometric quantization (see [1,2,3]). As it was shown in our preceding papers the standard geometric quantization method [4] c...
