The stable quantum states have RR charges which precisely represent the gauge fields of the corresponding Lie algebra. This provides a simple and direct physical link between the ADE classification of N=2 superconformal field theories, and the corresponding root systems. An affine extension of this structure is also considered, whose boundary states represent the D2-branes plus additional D0-branes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2001-11-14T13:18:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11.25.-w", "11.25.Hf" ], "keywords": [ "ale space", "ade classification", "d2-branes plus additional d0-branes", "superconformal field theories", "boundary states represent" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
