We analyze the level-rank duality of untwisted and ε-twisted D-branes of the so(N ) K WZW model. Untwisted D-branes of so(N ) K are characterized by integrable tensor and spinor representations of so(N ) K . Level-rank duality maps untwisted so(N ) K D-branes corresponding to (equivalence classes of) tensor representations onto those of so(K) N . The ε-twisted D-branes of so(2n) 2k are characterized by (a subset of) integrable tensor and spinor representations of so(2n − 1) 2k+1 . Level-rank duality maps spinor ε-twisted so(2n) 2k D-branes onto those of so(2k) 2n . For both untwisted and ε-twisted D-branes, we prove that the spectrum of an open string ending on these D-branes is isomorphic to the spectrum of an open string ending on the level-rank-dual D-branes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
