Localization and Abelianization of Strings on Group Manifolds: The Simply Connected Case

We study the localization formula for the partition function of the Wess--Zumino--Witten (WZW) model on the torus for compact, connected, and simply connected simple Lie groups. We identify a missing factor in the original localization treatment of Murthy and Witten and show that it agrees with the result obtained from...

Localization and Abelianization of Strings on Group Manifolds: The Non-simply Connected Case

We study the partition functions of Wess--Zumino--Witten (WZW) models with compact connected simple Lie group manifolds that are not simply connected. Starting from the modular-invariant partition function of Felder--Gaw\k{e}dzki--Kupiainen (FGK), we derive a localization formula, which can also be obtained directly by...
