Kazama-Suzuki models of N = 2 superconformal field theory and Manin triples

Abstract

Kazama-Suzuki coset models is an interesting class of N = 2 supersymmetric models of conformal field theory which are used to build realistic models of superstring in 4 dimensions. We formulate Kazama-Suzuki construction of N = 2 superconformal coset models using more general language of Manin triples and represent the corresponding N = 2 Virasoro superalgebra currents in explicit form. A correspondence between the Kazama-Suzuki models and Poisson homogeneous spaces is also established.
