Abstract We study the current algebras of the NS5-branes, the Kaluza-Klein (KK) five-branes and the exotic $$ {5}_2^2 $$ 5 2 2 -branes in type IIA/IIB superstring theories. Their worldvolume theories are governed by the six-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2, 0) tensor and the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (1, 1) vector multiplets. We show that the current algebras are determined through the S- and T-dualities. The algebras of the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2, 0) theories are characterized by the Dirac bracket caused by the self-dual gauge field in the five-brane worldvolumes, while those of the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (1, 1) theories are given by the Poisson bracket. By the use of these algebras, we examine extended spaces in terms of tensor coordinates which are the representation of ten-dimensional supersymmetry. We also examine the transition rules of the currents in the type IIA/IIB supersymmetry algebras in ten dimensions. Based on the algebras, we write down the section conditions in the extended spaces and gauge transformations of the supergravity fields.

Abstract Surface operators are among the most important observables of the 6d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2, 0) theory. Here we apply the tools of defect CFT to study local operator insertions into the 1/2-BPS plane. We first relate the 2-point function of the displacement operator to the expectation value of the bulk stress tensor and translate this relation into a constraint on the anomaly coefficients associated with the defect. Secondly, we study the defect operator expansion of the stress tensor multiplet and identify several new operators of the defect CFT. Technical results derived along the way include the explicit supersymmetry tranformations of the stress tensor multiplet and the classification of unitary representations of the superconformal algebra preserved by the defect.

The Fourier Transform

We introduce a multi-parameter family of bases in the Hilbert space L2(R) that are associated to a set of Hermite functions, which also serve as a basis for L2(R). The Hermite functions are eigenfunctions of the Fourier transform, a property that is, in some sense, shared by these “generalized Hermite functions”. The construction of these new bases is grounded on some symmetry properties of the real line under translations, dilations and reflexions as well as certain properties of the Fourier transform. We show how these generalized Hermite functions are transformed under the unitary representations of a series of groups, including the Weyl–Heisenberg group and some of their extensions.
