The Stoyanovsky-Ribault-Teschner map and string scattering amplitudes

Recently, Ribault and Teschner pointed out the existence of a one-to-one correspondence between N-point correlation functions for the SL(2, ℂ) k/SU(2) WZNW model on the sphere and certain set of 2N - 2-point correlation functions in Liouville field theory. This result is based on a seminal work by S...

This enables us to interpret the correspondence between CFT's as encoding a LSZ-type reduction procedure. Furthermore, we discuss the scattering amplitudes violating the winding number conservation in those backgrounds and provide a formula connecting such amplitudes with observables in Liouville field theory. Finally, we study the WZNW correlation functions in the limit k → 0 and show that, at the point k = 0, the Stoyanovsky-Ribault-Teschner dictionary turns out to be in agreement with the FZZ conjecture at a particular point of the space of parameters where the Liouville central charge becomes cL = -2.
