Quantum Hamiltonian reduction of affine Lie (super) algebra
Description
We study the quantum Hamiltonian reduction of the affine Lie superalgebra A(n, n - 1)(1) = sl(n + 1, n)(1) (n ≥ 1), whose central charge is zero. After a BRST gauge fixing the model has a W algebra structure with N = 2 superconformal symmetry. We show that this model is the N = 2 coset model CPn = SU(n + 1)/SU(n) x U(1) constructed by Kazama and Suzuki. We also discuss a topological field theoretical aspect of the SL(n + 1, n) Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model. (author)
