Genus Two Meromorphic Conformal Field Theory

چکیده
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 meromorphic conformal field theories including the Moonshine Module. In particular, we find that for self-dual theories with central charge 24, the genus two partition function multiplied by a universal holomorphic function of the moduli is given by a meromorphic Siegel modular form of weight 2 where this universal function includes ghost contributions. We also discuss a novel expansion for certain Siegel modular forms.

Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory
The periods of arbitrary abelian forms on hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces, in particular the periods of the meromorphic Seiberg-Witten differential λ SW , are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the conformal blocks of correlation functions of the rational logarithmic conformal field theory with central charge c = c 2,1 = −2. The fields of this theory precisely simulate the branched do...

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 c...
متن کاملA Riemann Surface Attached to Domains in the Plane and Complexity in Potential Theory
We prove that if either of the Bergman or Szegő kernel functions associated to a multiply connected domain Ω in the plane is an algebraic function, then there exists a compact Riemann surface R such that Ω is a domain in R and such that a long list of classical domain functions associated to Ω extend to R as single valued meromorphic functions. Because the field of meromorphic functions on a co...
متن کاملConformal Spherical Parametrization for High Genus Surfaces
Surface parameterization establishes bijective maps from a surface onto a topologically equivalent standard domain. It is well known that the spherical parameterization is limited to genus-zero surfaces. In this work, we design a new parameter domain, two-layered sphere, and present a framework for mapping high genus surfaces onto sphere. This setup allows us to transfer the existing applicatio...
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...
