We consider a string theory based on an SU(1,1) Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model and an arbitrary unitary conformal fild theory. We show that the solutions of the Virasoro conditions, in the unitarity regime of the SU(1,1) theory, are states which lie in the Euclidean coset SU(1,1)/U(1). This shows the validity, at the quantum level, of a time-like type of gauge in these models.

  1. Hadrons in $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric QCD from non-Abelian string on 2D black hole

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The hadron spectrum in N=2 SQCD with N_f=2N is given by the spectrum of a non-Abelian string on a 2D N=2 supersymmetric black hole, with a Higgs-to-string phase transition viewed as a conifold transition.
