Cosets as gauge slices in SU(1,1) strings
Abstract
We consider a string theory based on an SU(1,1) Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model and an arbitrary unitary conformal fild theory. We show that the solutions of the Virasoro conditions, in the unitarity regime of the SU(1,1) theory, are states which lie in the Euclidean coset SU(1,1)/U(1). This shows the validity, at the quantum level, of a time-like type of gauge in these models.
