Resumo: We review some relevant examples for String Theory of non-linear sigma models. These are bosonic strings propagating in curved background, the Wess-Zumino-Witten model and superstrings in flat and AdS superspace. The mathematical tools required for the study of these models (e.g. topological quantization, Cartan geometry, Lie superalgebras and geometry on coset spaces) are also described. Throughout the dissertation we have focused on classical aspects of these models such as the construction of the action and its symmetries where conditions for holomorphic symmetry of the bosonic string case were found.

Estes são a corda bosónica se propagando em espaços curvos, o modelo Wess-Zumino-Witten e supercordas em superespaço plano e AdS. As ferramentas matemáticas que se precisam para o estudo destes modelos (e.g. quantização topológica, geometria de Cartan, super-álgebras de Lie e geometria em espaços coset) também são descritas. Ao longo desta dissertação focamos os aspectos clássicos destes modelos tais como a construção da ação e suas simetrias onde condições para serem estas holomorficas no caso da corda bosónica foram achadas.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp)Mikhailov, Andrei [UNESP]Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp)Ferro, Dennis Eduardo Zavaleta [UNESP]2017-09-19T19:20:32Z2017-09-19T19:20:32Z2016-08-15info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/11449/15164700089195433015015001P7enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Institucional da UNESPinstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESP2023-11-06T06:10:13Zoai:repositorio.unesp.br:11449/151647Repositório InstitucionalPUBhttp://repositorio.unesp.br/oai/requestopendoar:29462024-08-05T17:01:39.045135Repositório Institucional da UNESP - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
