The graded parafermion conformal field theory at level k is a close cousin of the much-studied Z k parafermion model. Three character formulas for the graded parafermion theory are presented, one bosonic, one fermionic (both previously known) and one of spinon type (which is new). The main result of this paper is a proof of the equivalence of these three forms using q-series methods combined wi...
متن کاملFermionic Sum Representations for Conformal Field Theory Characters
We present sum representations for all characters of the unitary Virasoro minimal models. They can be viewed as fermionic companions of the Rocha-Caridi sum representations, the latter related to the (bosonic) Feigin-Fuchs-Felder construction. We also give fermionic representations for certain characters of the general (G )k×(G )l (G)k+l coset conformal field theories, the non-unitary minimal m...
متن کاملTwining characters and Picard groups in rational conformal field theory
Picard groups of tensor categories play an important role in rational conformal field theory. The Picard group of the representation category C of a rational vertex algebra can be used to construct examples of (symmetric special) Frobenius algebras in C. Such an algebra A encodes all data needed to ensure the existence of correlators of a local conformal field theory. The Picard group of the ca...
متن کاملFlat Connections for Characters in Irrational Conformal Field Theory
Abstract Following the paradigm on the sphere, we begin the study of irrational conformal field theory (ICFT) on the torus. In particular, we find that the affine-Virasoro characters of ICFT satisfy heat-like differential equations with flat connections. As a first example, we solve the system for the general g/h coset construction, obtaining an integral representation for the general coset cha...
متن کاملOperads and Conformal Field Theory Lecture 1: Conformal Field Theory
Physicists have developed very advanced methods to compute such integrals. For example, the famous Feynman diagram technique allows us to compute the above integral for a rather particular function S(x), a small perturbation of a positive de nite quadratic form in R . Sometimes, elaborate techniques of physicists to compute simple things nd an amazing application to very general things in mathe...
