Geometrical interpretation of D-branes in gauged WZW models

Juan Maldacena, Gregory Moore, Nathan Seiberg

Abstract

We show that one can construct D-branes in parafermionic and WZW theories (and their orbifolds) which have very natural geometrical interpretations, and yet are not automatically included in the standard Cardy construction of D-branes in rational conformal field theory. The relation between these theories and their T-dual description leads to an analogy between these D-branes and the familiar A-branes and B-branes of N=2 theories.
