HAMILTONIAN FORMULATION OF OPEN WZW STRINGS

HAMILTONIAN FORMULATION OF OPEN WZW STRINGS

Using a Hamiltonian approach, we construct the classical and quantum theory of open WZW strings on a strip. (These are the strings which end on WZW branes.) The development involves non-Abelian generalized Dirichlet images in an essential way. At the classical level, we find a new non-commutative geometry in which …
