Journal ArticleDOI
A Path integral approach to the Kontsevich quantization formula
TL;DR: In this paper, a quantum field theory interpretation of Kontsevich's deformation quantization formula for Poisson manifolds is given by the perturbative expansion of the path integral of a simple topological bosonic open string theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
BRST approach to minimal models
TL;DR: In this article, a BRST charge was introduced in a series of Coulomb gas models in two dimensions, and it was shown that these models, once restricted to BRST states, are equivalent to the minimal two-dimensional conformal invariant models of Belavin, Polyakov and Zamolodchikov.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fock representations and BRST cohomology in SL (2) current algebra
Denis Bernard,Giovanni Felder +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of the Fock modules over A1(1) introduced by Wakimoto was investigated and it was shown that irreducible highest weight modules arise as degree zero cohomology groups in a BRST-like complex of Fock module.
Journal ArticleDOI
The geometry of WZW branes
TL;DR: In this article, the structures in target space geometry that correspond to conformally invariant boundary conditions in WZW theories are determined both by studying the scattering of closed string states and by investigating the algebra of open string vertex operators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravity in non-commutative geometry
TL;DR: In this article, a generalized Einstein-Hilbert action for non-commutative Riemannian spaces is introduced, where the curvature is interpreted as describing the distance between the two points in the internal space.
