Gauging a Non-Semi-Simple WZW Model
Konstadinos Sfetsos
Abstract
We consider gauged WZW models based on a four dimensional non-semi-simple group. We obtain conformal -models in D=3 spacetime dimensions (with exact central charge c=3) by axially and vectorially gauging a one-dimensional subgroup. The model obtained in the axial gauging is related to the 3D black string after a correlated limit is taken in the latter model. By identifying the CFT corresponding to these -models we compute the exact expressions for the metric and dilaton fields. All of our models can be mapped to flat spacetimes with zero antisymmetric tensor and dilaton fields via duality transformations.
