The quantisation of the Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a circle is discussed in the case of $SU(N)$ at level $k$. The quantum commutation of the chiral vertex operators is described by an exchange relation with a braiding matrix, $Q$. Using quantum consistency conditions, the braiding matrix is found explicitly in the fundamental representation. This matrix is shown to be related to the Racah matrix for $U_t(SL(N))$. From calculating the four-point functions with the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations, the deformation parameter $t$ is shown to be $t=exp({ipi /(k+N)})$ when the level $kge 2$. For $k=1$, there are two possible types of braiding, $t=exp({ipi /(1+N)})$ or $t=exp(ipi)$. In the latter case, the chiral vertex operators are constructed explicitly by extending the free field realisation a la Frenkel-Kac and Segal. This construction gives an explicit description of how to chirally factorise the $SU(N)_{k=1}$ WZW model.
The classic argument by Polyakov showing that monopoles produce confinement in the Higgs phase of the Georgi-Glashow model is generalized to study the spectrum of k-strings. We find that the leading-order low-density approximation yields Casimir scal
We apply The Batalin-Tyutin constraint formalism of converting a second class system into a first class system for the rotational quantisation of the SU(2) Skyrme model. We obtain the first class constraint and the Hamiltonian in the extended phase s
Generalizations of the AGT correspondence between 4D $mathcal{N}=2$ $SU(2)$ supersymmetric gauge theory on ${mathbb {C}}^2$ with $Omega$-deformation and 2D Liouville conformal field theory include a correspondence between 4D $mathcal{N}=2$ $SU(N)$ su
We investigate some properties of the standard rotator approximation of the SU$(N)times,$SU$(N)$ sigma-model in the delta-regime. In particular we show that the isospin susceptibility calculated in this framework agrees with that computed by chiral p
We analyze unoriented Wess-Zumino-Witten models from a geometrical point of view. We show that the geometric interpretation of simple current crosscap states is as centre orientifold planes localized on conjugacy classes of the group manifold. We det
