TL;DR
This paper investigates how gauge Ward identities influence correlation functions in gauged WZNW models, demonstrating that gauge dressing can be described via solutions to the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation, similar to gravitational dressing in 2D theories.
Contribution
It introduces a method to incorporate gauge dressing into correlation functions using the KZ equation, extending the understanding of gauge effects in 2D field theories.
Findings
Gauge dressing can be modeled as a solution to the KZ equation.
The approach parallels gravitational dressing analysis in 2D theories.
Provides a systematic way to include gauge effects in correlation functions.
Abstract
By using the gauge Ward identities, we study correlation functions of gauged WZNW models. We show that the gauge dressing of the correlation functions can be taken into account as a solution of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation. Our method is analogous to the analysis of the gravitational dressing of 2D field theories.
