We present the general form of the operators that lift the group action on the twisted sectors of a bosonic string on an orbifold ${\cal M}/G$, in the presence of a Kalb-Ramond field strength $H$. These operators turn out to generate the quasi-quantum group $D_{\omega}[G]$, introduced in the context of orbifold conformal field theory by R. Dijkgraaf, V. Pasquier and P. Roche. The 3-cocycle $\omega$ entering in the definition of $D_{\omega}[G]$ is related to $H$ by a series of cohomological…

The simplest orientifolds of the WZW models are obtained by gauging a $${\mathbb{Z}_2}$$ symmetry group generated by a combined involution of the target Lie group G and of the worldsheet. The action
We discuss how gerbes may be used to set up a consistent Lagrangian approach to the WZW models with boundary. The approach permits to study in detail possible boundary conditions that restrict the
