We reconsider the role that bundle gerbes play in the formulation of the WZW model on closed and open surfaces. In particular, we show how an analysis of bundle gerbes on groups covered by SU(N) permits to determine the spectrum of symmetric branes in the boundary version of the WZW model with such groups as the target. We also describe a simple relation between the open string amplitudes in the WZW models based on simply connected groups and in their simple-current orbifolds.

Lattice chiral non-Abelian gauge symmetry via bosonization
Proposes a bosonized lattice construction of anomaly-free 2D non-Abelian chiral gauge theories in which left and right bulk contributions cancel at finite spacing when quadratic indices match.
