Beschreibung:

The Wess-Zumino term in two-dimensional conformal field theory is best understood as a surface holonomy of a bundle gerbe. We define additional structure for a bundle gerbe that allows to extend the notion of surface holonomy to unoriented surfaces. This provides a candidate for the Wess-Zumino term for WZW models on unoriented surfaces. Our ansatz reproduces some results known from the algebraic approach to WZW models. manche meinen lechts und rinks kann man nicht velwechsern werch ein illtum Ernst Jandl [Jan95]. © Springer-Verlag 2007.
