The minimal unitary representation of $E_{8(8)}$

heterogeneity within the orientalist discourse: representation of the orient in womens travelogues and mens paintings

from 1950s onward, new theories and critical approaches burgeoned across humanities. these theories were context-oriented; as a result, the analysis of discursive practices gained significance. thus, social, political, historical and cultural discourses that have been hitherto marginalized and considered inferior to literary texts, were introduced as important texts to be analyzed by critics. o...

Fermi-gas interpretation of the RSOS path representation of the superconformal unitary minimal models

We derive new finitized fermionic characters for the superconformal unitary minimal models by interpreting the RSOS configuration sums as fermi-gas partition functions. This extends to the supersymmetric case the method introduced by Warnaar for the Virasoro unitary mimimal models. The key point in this construction is the proper identification of fermi-type charged particles in terms of the pa...

Nonlocal operator basis for the path representation of the unitary minimal models

We propose a new operator interpretation for the lattice paths of the unitary minimal models M(k + 1, k + 2). These operators are akin to the modes of a complex fermion, but at the same time, they capture some characteristics of Z k parafermions in that there is a bound on the number of allowed successive operators (which is k − 1). The operators act non-locally on the path: Their action modifi...

2 00 2 The Minimal Unitary Representation of E 8 ( 8 ) †

AEI-2001-108 hep-th/0109005 The Minimal Unitary Representation of E8(8) ∗

We give a new construction of the minimal unitary representation of the exceptional group E 8(8) on a Hilbert space of complex functions in 29 variables. Due to their manifest covariance with respect to the E 7(7) subgroup of E 8(8) our formulas are simpler than previous realizations, and thus well suited for applications in supergravity and superstring theory. One possible application arises i...
