We study the ground states and left-excited states of the A k−1 N = (2, 0) little string theory. Via a theorem by Atiyah [1], these sectors can be captured by a supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model on CP 1 with target space the based loop group of SU (k). The ground states, described by L 2 -cohomology classes, form modules over an affine Lie algebra, while the left-excited states, described by chiral differential operators, form modules over a toroidal Lie algebra. We also apply our results to analyze the 1/2 and 1/4 BPS sectors of the M5-brane worldvolume theory.In loving memory of See-Hong Tan.

Algebraic structures of N = (4, 4) and N = (8, 8) supersymmetric (SUSY) two dimensional sigma models on Lie groups (in general) and SUSY Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models (as special) are obtained. For SUSY WZW models, these algebraic structures are reduced to Lie bialgebraic structures as for the N = (2, 2) SUSY WZW case; with the difference that there is a one 2-cocycle for the N = (4, 4) case and there are two 2-cocycles for the N = (8, 8) case. In general, we show that N = (8, 8) SUSY structure on Lie algebra must be constructed from two N = (4, 4) SUSY structures and in special there must be two 2-cocycles for Manin triples (one 2-cocycle for each of the N = (4, 4) structures). Some examples are investigated. In this way, a calculational method for classifying the N = (4, 4) and N = (8, 8) structures on Lie algebras and Lie groups are obtained.
