چکیده

Some mathematical questions relating to Coset Conformal field theories (CFT) are considered in the framework of Algebraic Quantum Field Theory as developed previously by us. We consider the issue of fix point resolution in the diagonal coset of type A. We show how to decompose certain reducible representations into irreducibles, and prove that the coset CFT gives rise to a unitary Modular Tensor Category in the sense of Turaev, and therefore may be used to construct 3-manifold invariants. We prove that if the coset inclusion satisfies certain conditions which can be checked in examples, the Kac-Wakimoto Hypothesis (KWH) is equivalent to the the Kac-Wakimoto Conjecture (KWC), a result which seems to be hard to prove by purely representation considerations. Examples are also presented. §

6 O ct 1 99 8 ALGEBRAIC COSET CONFORMAL FIELD THEORIES

All unitary Rational Conformal Field Theories (RCFT) are conjectured to be related to unitary Coset Conformal Field Theories, i.e., gauged Wess-ZuminoWitten (WZW) models with compact gauge groups. In this paper we use subfactor theory and ideas of algebraic Quantum Field Theory (QFT) to approach Coset Conformal Field Theories. Two main conjectures are formulated and their consequences are discu...

M/string theory on noncompact, negatively curved, cosets which generalize AdSD+1 = SO(D, 2)/SO(D, 1) is considered. Holographic descriptions in terms of a conformal field theory on the boundary of the spacetime are proposed. Examples include SU(2, 1)/U(2), which is a Euclidean signature (4, 0) space with no supersymmetry, and SO(2, 2)/SO(2) and SO(3, 2)/SO(3), which are Lorentzian signature (4,...

Factorization of Correlation Functions in Coset Conformal Field Theories

We use the conformal Ward identities to study the structure of correlation functions in coset conformal field theories. For a large class of primary fields of arbitrary g/h theory a factorization anzatz is found.The corresponding correlation functions are explicitly expressed in terms of correlation functions of two independent WZNW theories for g and h. Coset theories is an important subclass ...

Generalized abelian coset conformal field theories. Abstract Primary fields and correlation functions of an arbitrary abelian coset conformal field theory are explicitly expressed in terms of the associated W algebra and u(1) d currents.The coset theory has global abelian symmetry. In this paper we study conformal field theories based on the generalized coset construction [1-3] K(m) = L(m) − L ...
