D-branes in T-fold conformal field theory

, 2008
We investigate boundary dynamics of orbifold conformal field theory involving T-duality twists. Such models typically appear in contexts of non-geometric string compactifications that are called monodrofolds or T-folds in recent literature.

Black holes and (0,4) SCFTs from type IIB on K3

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We study the central charges and levels of 2d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (0, 4) superconformal field theories that are dual to four- and five-dimensional BPS black holes in compactifications of type IIB string theory on a K3 surface.

A worldsheet description of instant folded strings

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023
Time-like linear dilaton backgrounds admit a classical solution that describes a closed folded string that is created at an instant. We refer to such strings as Instant Folded Strings (IFS).

Three-point functions in c <= 1 Liouville theory and conformal loop ensembles [PDF]

, 2015
The possibility of extending the Liouville Conformal Field Theory from values of the central charge $c \geq 25$ to $c \leq 1$ has been debated for many years in condensed matter physics as well as in string theory.

A supersymmetric AdS3 duality

Journal of High Energy Physics
We find a dual description of the supersymmetric SL(2, ℂ)/SU(2) WZW model as a super-winding condensate CFT, which follows simply from the bosonic AdS3 duality found in [arXiv:2104.07233].

On the gl(1|1) Wess-Zumino-Witten model

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We continue the study of the gl(1|1) Wess-Zumino-Witten model. The Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations for the one, two, three and four point functions are analyzed, for vertex operators corresponding to typical and projective representations.

On quantum Poisson-Lie T-duality of WZNW models

Journal of High Energy Physics
We study Poisson-Lie T-duality of the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) models which are obtained from a class of Drinfel’d doubles and its generalization.

An elliptic triptych

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We clarify three aspects of non-compact elliptic genera. Firstly, we give a path integral derivation of the elliptic genus of the cigar conformal field theory from its non-linear sigma-model description.

Twisted circle compactifications of 6d SCFTs

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We study 6d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) compactified on a circle with arbitrary twists. The theories obtained after compactification, often referred to as 5d Kaluza-Klein (KK) theories, can be viewed as starting points for RG flows to 5d SCFTs.

Carving out the space of open-string S-matrix

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
In this paper, we explore the open string amplitude’s dual role as a space-time S-matrix and a 2D holomorphic CFT correlation function. We pursue this correspondence in two directions.
