Abstract

We derive the critical dimensions of bosonic string on SO(N) group-manifolds for arbitrary level k, using path-integral methods and non-abelian bosonization techniques. We obtain a recursive equation for the critical dimensions, whose solution is in agreement with the operator approach results. We also discuss the application of this method to the linear sigma models.
