Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangles, elementary couplings and fusion rules
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a general scheme for describing ŝu(N)k fusion rules in terms of elementary couplings, using Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangles. A fusion coupling is characterized by its corresponding tensor product coupling (i.e. its Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangle) and the threshold level at which it first appears. We show that a closed expression for this threshold level is encoded in the Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangle and an explicit method to calculate it is presented. In this way a complete solution of ŝu(4)k fusion rules is obtained.

N -point and higher-genus osp(1|2) fusion
We study affine osp(1|2) fusion, the fusion in osp(1|2) conformal field theory, for example. Higher-point and higher-genus fusion is discussed. The fusion multiplicities are characterized as discretized volumes of certain convex polytopes, and are written explicitly as multiple sums measuring those volumes. We extend recent methods developed to treat affine su(2) fusion. They are based on the c...
متن کامل0 su ( N ) tensor product multiplicities and virtual Berenstein - Zelevinsky triangles
Information on su(N) tensor product multiplicities is neatly encoded in Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangles. Here we study a generalisation of these triangles by allowing negative as well as positive integer entries. For a fixed triple product of weights, these generalised Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangles span a lattice in which one may move by adding integer linear combinations of so-called virtual...

Information on su(N) tensor product multiplicities is neatly encoded in Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangles. Here we study a generalisation of these triangles by allowing negative as well as non-negative integer entries.

We show how higher-genus su(N) fusion multiplicities may be computed as the discretized volumes of certain polytopes. The method is illustrated by explicit analyses of some su(3) and su(4) fusions, but applies to all higher-point and higher-genus su(N) fusions. It is based on an extension of the realm of Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangles by including so-called gluing and loop-gluing diagrams. The...
