D-branes in the WZW model
Nov, 1998Citations per year
Abstract:
It is stated in the literature that D-branes in the WZW-model associated with the gluing condition J = - \bar{J} along the boundary correspond to branes filling out the whole group volume. We show instead that the end-points of open strings are rather bound to stay on `integer' conjugacy classes. In the case of SU(2) level k WZW model we obtain k-1 two dimensional Euclidean D-branes and two D particles sitting at the points e and -e.- Wess-Zumino-Witten model
- membrane model: D-brane
- string model
- symmetry: SU(2)
