ConjecturedZ2-Orbifold Constructions of Self-Dual Conformal Field Theories at Central Charge 24- the

چکیده
By considering constraints on the dimensions of the Lie algebra corresponding to the weight one states of Z 2 and Z 3 orbifold models arising from imposing the appropriate modular properties on the graded characters of the automorphisms on the underlying conformal field theory, we propose a set of constructions of all but one of the 71 self-dual meromorphic bosonic conformal field theories at central charge 24. In the Z 2 case, this leads to an extension of the neighborhood graph of the even self-dual lattices in 24 dimensions to conformal field theories, and we demonstrate that the graph becomes disconnected.

We discuss questions arising from the recent work of Schellekens[17], and also from an earlier paper by Schellekens and Yankielowicz[19]. We summarise Schellekens' results, and proceed to discuss the uniqueness of the c = 24 self-dual conformal field theory with no weight one states, i.e. the Monster module V ♮ [8]. After introducing the concept of complementary representations, we examine Z 2-...
متن کاملGenus Two Meromorphic Conformal Field Theory
We construct the genus two (or two loop) partition function for meromorphic bosonic conformal field theories. We use a sewing procedure involving two genus one tori by exploiting an explicit relationship between the genus two period matrix and pinching modular parameters. We obtain expressions for the partition function for the chiral bosonic string, even rank lattice theories and self-dual mer...

An account is given of the structure and representations of chiral bosonic meromorphic conformal field theories (CFT's), and, in particular, the conditions under which such a CFT may be extended by a representation to form a new theory. This general approach is illustrated by considering the untwisted and Z 2-twisted theories, H(Λ) and˜H(Λ) respectively , which may be constructed from a suitabl...
متن کاملOn Representations of Conformal Field Theories and the Construction of Orbifolds
We consider representations of meromorphic bosonic chiral conformal field theories, and demonstrate that such a representation is completely specified by a state within the theory. The necessary and sufficient conditions upon this state are derived, and, because of their form, we show that we may extend the representation to a representation of a suitable larger conformal field theory. In parti...
متن کاملOrbifold duality symmetries and quantum Hall systems, Nucl.Phys
We consider the possible role that chiral orbifold conformal field theories may play in describing the edge state theories of quantum Hall systems. This is a generalization of work that already exists in the literature, where it has been shown that 1+1 chiral bosons living on a n-dimensional torus, and which couple to a U1 gauge field, give rise to anomalous electric currents, the anomaly being...
