Wakimoto modules for the affine superalgebra sl(2/1) and non-critical N = 2 Strings. (1996)
Journal Article
Bowcock, P., Koktava, R. K., & Taormina, A. (1996). Wakimoto modules for the affine superalgebra sl(2/1) and non-critical N = 2 Strings. Physics Letters B, 388(2), 303-308. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0370-2693%2896%2901103-3

Free field representations of the affine superalgebra A(1, 0)(1) at level k corresponding to two inequivalent choices of the simple roots are shown to be related by nonlinear canonical field transformations, both at the classical and at the quantum l...

Background field boundary conditions for affine Toda field theories (1996)
Journal Article
Bowcock, P., Corrigan, E., & Rietdijk, R. (1996). Background field boundary conditions for affine Toda field theories. Nuclear Physics B, 465(1-2), 350-364. https://doi.org/10.1016/0550-3213%2896%2900050-8

Classical integrability is investigated for affine Toda field theories in the presence of a constant background tensor field. This leads to a further set of discrete possibilities containing no free parameters other than the bulk coupling constant.

Classically integrable boundary conditions for affine Toda field theories (1995)
Journal Article
Bowcock, P., Corrigan, E., Dorey, P., & Rietdijk, R. (1995). Classically integrable boundary conditions for affine Toda field theories. Nuclear Physics B, 445(2-3), 469-500. https://doi.org/10.1016/0550-3213%2895%2900153-j

Boundary conditions compatible with classical integrability are studied both directly, using an approach based on the explicit construction of conserved quantities, and indirectly by first developing a generalisation of the Lax pair idea. The latter... Read More about Classically integrable boundary conditions for affine Toda field theories.

Null vectors, three point and four point functions in conformal field theory (1994)
Journal Article
Bowcock, P., & Watts, G. (1994). Null vectors, three point and four point functions in conformal field theory

We consider 3-point and 4-point correlation functions in a conformal field theory with a W-algebra symmetry. Whereas in a theory with only Virasoro symmetry the three-point functions of descendant fields are uniquely determined by the three-point fun...
