Infinite-dimensional groups and algebras motivated by physics, including Virasoro, Kac-Moody, (W)-algebras and other current algebras and their representations (81R10) String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30)

Abstract: Starting with the SU(2)_k WZW model, we construct boundary states that generically preserve only a parafermion times Virasoro subalgebra of the full affine Lie algebra symmetry of the bulk model. The boundary states come in families: intervals for generic k, quotients of SU(2) by discrete groups if k is a square. In that case, special members of the families can be viewed as superpositions of rotated Cardy branes. Using embeddings of SU(2) into higher groups, the new boundary states can be lifted to symmetry-breaking branes for other WZW models.
