Wess–Zumino–Witten model

The Wess–Zumino–Witten (WZW) model is a significant theoretical framework in the field of statistical mechanics and quantum field theory, particularly in the study of two-dimensional conformal field theories. It is named after Julius Wess and Bruno Zumino, who introduced it in the early 1970s, and is also associated with developments by Edward Witten.
