abstract

A WZW model for the non-semi-simple D-dimensional Heisenberg group, which directly generalizes the E_{2}^{c} group, is constructed. It is found to correspond to an D-dimensional string background of plane-wave type with physical Lorentz signature D-2. Perturbative and non-perturbative considerations lead both to an integer central charge c=D.

    A chiral null gauging of Nappi-Witten WZW models yields a closed string with a Gomis-Ooguri-like spectrum, but with different left- and right-moving sectors.
