چکیده
We prove that certain screening operators in conformal field theory obey the algebra relations of a corresponding Nichols with diagonal braiding. Our result proves particular long-standing expectation Borel parts small quantum groups appear as operators. The proof is based on novel, intimate relation between Hopf algebras, vertex algebras and class multivalued analytic special functions, which are generalizations Selberg integrals. zeroes these functions correspond to respective algebra, by proving an analytical symmetrizer formula for functions. Moreover, poles encode module extensions Weyl group action. At other poles, fails generate extension algebra. intended application our conjectural logarithmic Kazhdan-Lusztig correspondence. More generally, seems suggest non-local arbitrary should be described appropriate just local can Lie algebras.

Conformal Field Theories, Graphs and Quantum Algebras
This article reviews some recent progress in our understanding of the structure of Rational Conformal Field Theories, based on ideas that originate for a large part in the work of A. Ocneanu. The consistency conditions that generalize modular invariance for a given RCFT in the presence of various types of boundary conditions –open, twisted– are encoded in a system of integer multiplicities that...
متن کاملQuantum Conformal Algebras and Closed Conformal Field Theory
We investigate the quantum conformal algebras of N=2 and N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories. Phenomena occurring at strong coupling are analysed using the Nachtmann theorem and very general, model-independent, arguments. The results lead us to introduce a novel class of conformal field theories, identified by a closed quantum conformal algebra. We conjecture that they are the exact solution to t...
متن کاملC - algebras and their applications to reflection groups and conformal field theories
The aim of this lecture is to present the concept of C-algebra and to illustrate its applications in two contexts: the study of reflection groups and their folding on the one hand, the structure of rational conformal field theories on the other. For simplicity the discussion is restricted to finite Coxeter groups and conformal theories with a sl(2) current algebra, but it may be extended to a l...
متن کاملOn Quantum Group Symmetries of Conformal Field Theories
The appearance of quantum groups in conformal field theories is traced back to the Poisson-Lie symmetries of the classical chiral theory. A geometric quantization of the classical theory deforms the Poisson-Lie symmetries to the quantum group ones. This elucidates the fundamental role of chiral symmetries that quantum groups play in conformal models. As a byproduct, one obtains a more geometric...
متن کاملParticle versus Field Structure in Conformal Quantum Field Theories
I show that a particle structure in conformal field theory is incompatible with interactions. As a substitute one has particle-like exitations whose interpolating fields have in addition to their canonical dimension an anomalous contribution. The spectra of anomalous dimension is given in terms of the Lorentz invariant quadratic invariant (compact mass operator) of a conformal generator Rμ with...
