In this paper we study some aspects of closed string theories in the Nappi–Witten space–time. The effects of spectral flow on the geodesics are studied in terms of an explicit parametrization of the group manifold. The worldsheets of the closed strings under the spectral flow of the geodesics can be classified into four classes, each with a geometric interpretation. We also obtain a free field realization of the Nappi–Witten affine Lie algebra in the most general conditions using a different but equivalent parametrization of the group manifold.

The conventional quantization of w3-strings gives theories which are equivalent to special cases of bosonic strings. We explore whether a more general quantization can lead to new generalized W3-string theories by seeking to construct quantum BRST charges directly without requiring the existence of a quantum W3-algebra. We study W3-like strings with a direct space-time interpretation — that is, with matter given by explicit free field realizations. Special emphasis is placed on the attempt to construct a quantum W-string associated with the magic realizations of the classical w3-algebra. We give the general conditions for the existence of W3-like strings, and comment on how the known results fit into our general construction. Our results are negative: we find no new consistent string theories, and in particular rule out the possibility of critical strings based on the magic realizations.

AbstractKanade and Russell conjectured several Rogers–Ramanujan-type partition identities, some of which are related to level 2 characters of the affine Lie algebra $$A_9^{(2)}$$ A 9 ( 2 ) . Many of these conjectures have been proved by Bringmann, Jennings-Shaffer and Mahlburg. We give new proofs of five conjectures first proved by those authors, as well as four others that have been open until now. Our proofs for the new cases use quadratic transformations for Askey–Wilson and Rogers polynomials. We also obtain some related results, including a partition identity conjectured by Capparelli and first proved by Andrews.

AbstractWe construct bases of standard (i.e. integrable highest weight) modules L(Λ) for affine Lie algebra of type B 2(1) consisting of semi-infinite monomials. The main technical ingredient is a construction of monomial bases for Feigin-Stoyanovsky type subspaces W(Λ) of L(Λ) by using simple currents and intertwining operators in vertex operator algebra theory. By coincidence W(kΛ0) for B 2(1) and the integrable highest weight module L(kΛ0) for A 1(1) have the same parametrization of combinatorial bases and the same presentation P/I.

Quantum Hamiltonian

We study the quantum Hamiltonian reduction of affine Lie algebras and the free field realization of the associated W algebra. For the nonsimply laced case this reduction does not agree with the usual coset construction of the W minimal model. In particular, we find that the coset model [Formula: see text] can be obtained through the quantum Hamiltonian reduction of the affine Lie superalgebra B(0, n)(1). To show this we also construct the Feigin-Fuchs representation of affine Lie superalgebras.
