unusual facts about Wess-Zumino-Witten model



Gethes

In the novel City of Pearl by Karen Traviss, Gethes was the name given to humans by the Wess'har.

Guillermo Kalbreyer

The palm genus, Kalbreyera, was named after Kalbreyer but the only species in the genus has now been re-classified as Geonoma triandra (Burret) Wess.Boer.

Shan Frankland

Shan Frankland is the fictional main protagonist of Karen Traviss's Wess'Har Series.

Vertex operator algebra

Important examples of vertex operator algebras include lattice VOAs (modeling lattice conformal field theories), VOAs given by representations of affine Kac-Moody algebras (from the WZW model), the Virasoro VOAs (i.e., VOAs corresponding to representations of the Virasoro algebra) and the moonshine module V, constructed by Frenkel, Lepowsky and Meurman in 1988.

Wess–Zumino model

In 1974, Julius Wess and Bruno Zumino studied, using modern terminology, dynamics of a single chiral superfield (composed of a complex scalar and a spinor fermion) whose cubic superpotential leads to a renormalizable theory.

Wess'Har

Humanoid in form, humans liken their features to a mix of iguanas and seals.
