Symmetries of perturbed conformal field theories

Fredenhagen, Stefan, Gaberdiel, Matthias R., Keller, Christoph A.

Understand

The symmetries of perturbed conformal field theories are analysed.

  • We explain which generators of the chiral algebras of a bulk theory survive a perturbation by an exactly marginal bulk field.
  • We also study the behaviour of D-branes under current-current bulk deformations.
  • We find that the branes always continue to preserve as much symmetry as they possibly can, i.e.
