From the basic chiral and anti-chiral Poisson bracket algebra of the SL(2, R) WZNW model, non-equal time Poisson brackets are derived. Through Hamiltonian reduction we deduce the corresponding brackets for its coset theories.The analysis of WZNW models is usually reduced to a separate treatment of its chiral or Here we consider the SL(2, R) WZNW model together with its three cosets, the Liouville theory and both the euclidean and Minkowskian black hole models. The general solution of the WZNW equations of motion gives g(τ, σ) as a product of chiral and anti-chiral fields g(z) andḡ(z), where z = τ + σ,z = τ − σ are light cone coordinates.For periodic boundary conditions, the chiral and anti-chiral fields have the monodromiesWe use the following basis of the sl(2, R) algebraIt satisfies the relations t m t n = −η mn I + ǫ mn l t l , where I is the unit matrix, η mn = diag(+, −, −) the metric tensor of 3d Minkowski space, and ǫ 012 = 1.
