u-Deformed WZW Model and Its Gauging

Abstract

We review the description of a particular deformation of the WZW model. The resulting theory exhibits a Poisson-Lie symmetry with a non-Abelian cosymmetry group and can be vectorially gauged.Comment: This is a contribution to the Proc. of the O'Raifeartaigh Symposium on Non-Perturbative and Symmetry Methods in Field Theory (June 2006, Budapest, Hungary), published in SIGMA (Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications) at http://www.emis.de/journals/SIGMA
