    Modular transformations of admissible N = 2 and Affine sl(2|1;C) characters

    No full text
    This thesis is a study of the affine super-algebra sl(2|l; C) and N = 2 superconformal algebra at fractional levels. In the first chapter we review background material on Conformal Field Theory, and how it appears in the context of string theory and the Wess - Zumino – Novikov - Witten model. We also discuss integrable and admissible representations of infinite dimensional algebras and their modular transformations. In Chapter 2 we elaborate some more on modular transformations and we derive them in the case of non - unitary minimal N = 2 characters. Some very explicit formulas are presented. In Chapter 3 we discuss character formulas for the affine sl(2|l;C) algebra and some of their general properties are given, in particular their behaviour under spectral flow. In Chapter 4 we turn to the study of sumrules for sl(2|l;C) at level k. These involve the product of sl(2) characters at level k, k', and 1 with {k + l){k' + !) = 1. We consider k + 1 = for = 1, p e Z*, u eN and show that the sumruleswe have obtained agree with the literature when the parameter p is restricted to p = 1. We use the integral form of the sumrules to study the modular properties of sl(2|l) characters at fractional level in the last section of Chapter 4.The advisor for this work has been Dr. Anne Taormina

    Adjoint representations for SU(2), su(2) and sl(2)

    No full text
    This work, presents four kinds of adjoint representations for the special unitary matrix Lie group SU(2) and the special unitary, special linear matrix Lie algebras su(2) and sl(2). In the first two we assume the vector spaces as the matrix Lie algebras su(2) and sl(2), later cases obtained by exploiting the action of su(2) and sl(2)  on themselves. Also, we compute their direct sums. The results have been displayed as Tables in a nice form

    SU (2) and SL(2, C) Representations of a Class of Torus Knots

    No full text
    Abstract: Let Km,2 be the torus knot of type (m, 2). With the help of the explicit description of the SL(2, C) character variety of this class of torus knots given by the author in a previous work, we study the relationship between the representations over SU (2) and over SL(2, C) of the fundamental group of S 3 \ Km,2. In particular it is shown that the map from the moduli space of irreducible SU (2)-representations to the moduli space of SL(2, C)-representations is injective

    Let Km;2 be the torus knot of type (m, 2). With the help of the explicit description of the SL(2, ℂ) character variety of this class of torus knots given by the author in a previous work, we study the relationship between the representations over SU(2) and over SL(2, ℂ) of the fundamental group of S³ \ K ₘ,₂. In particular it is shown that the map from the moduli space of irreducible SU(2)-representations to the moduli space of SL(2, ℂ)-representations is injective.peerReviewe

    REPRESENTASI su(2) DAN KOMPLEKSIFIKASI su(2)_C=sl(2,C) PADA RUANG VEKTOR POLINOM HOMOGEN

    No full text
    Aljabar Lie su(N) mempunyai kompleksifikasi sl(N,C). Dengan kata lain, suNC≅sl(N,C). Dalam artikel ini, dipelajari representasi aljabar Lie su(N) dan sl(N,C) khususnya untuk N=2 yang direalisasikan pada ruang vektor polinom homogen kompleks dua variabel berderajat dua. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengkonstruksi representasi sl(2,C) dari representasi su(2) dan  membuktikan bahwa representasi yang diperoleh bersifat unitar dan tak tereduksi. Selanjutnya, karena grup Lie dari  su(2) bersifat simply connected maka representasi su(2) dapat dikonstruksi dari grup Lie-nya. Di sisi lain, karena su2C≅sl(2,C) maka representasi dari sl(2,C) dapat dikonstruksi melalui perluasan linear-kompleks dari representasi su(2) dan hasilnya dapat dinyatakan dalam bentuk operator linear

    Quantum SL(2,R)SL(2,\mathbb{R}) and its irreducible representations

    No full text
    We define for real qq a unital *-algebra Uq(sl(2,R))U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})) quantizing the universal enveloping *-algebra of sl(2,R)\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}). The *-algebra Uq(sl(2,R))U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})) is realized as a *-subalgebra of the Drinfeld double of Uq(su(2))U_q(\mathfrak{su}(2)) and its dual Hopf *-algebra Oq(SU(2))\mathcal{O}_q(SU(2)), generated by the equatorial Podle\'s sphere coideal *-subalgebra Oq(K\SU(2))\mathcal{O}_q(K\backslash SU(2)) of Oq(SU(2))\mathcal{O}_q(SU(2)) and its associated orthogonal coideal *-subalgebra Uq(k)Uq(su(2))U_q(\mathfrak{k}) \subseteq U_q(\mathfrak{su}(2)). We then classify all the irreducible *-representations of Uq(sl(2,R))U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})).Comment: 22 pages; author accepted manuscrip

    Couplings of Brownian motions on SU(2,C)SU(2,\mathbb{C}) and SL(2,R)SL(2,\mathbb{R})

    No full text
    The Lie groups SU(2)SU(2) and SL(2,R)SL(2,\mathbb{R}) can be viewed as model spaces in subRiemannian geometry. Coupling two subelliptic Brownian motions on SU(2)SU(2) (resp. SL(2,R)SL(2,\mathbb{R})) consists in coupling two Brownian motions on the sphere (resp. the hyperbolic plane) and simultaneously their swept areas. Using this approach we propose an explicit construction of a co-adapted successful coupling on SU(2)SU(2). The strategy is to alternate between reflection and synchronous (with noise) coupling on the sphere. We also describe some more general constructions of co-adapted couplings on SU(2)SU(2) and also on SL(2,R)SL(2,\mathbb{R})
