Virasoro character identities and Artin L - functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Some identities between unitary minimal Virasoro characters at levels m = 3, 4, 5 are shown to arise as a consequence of relations between Artin L-functions of different quadratic fields. The definitions and concepts of number theory necessary to present the theta function identities which can be derived from these relations are introduced. A new infinite family of identities between Virasoro characters at level 3 and level m = 4a 2 , for a odd and 1 + 4a 2 = a ′ 2 p where p is prime is obtained as a by-product.

Fermionic solution of the Andrews-Baxter-Forrester model II: proof of Melzer’s polynomial identities
We compute the one-dimensional configuration sums of the ABF model using the fermionic technique introduced in part I of this paper. Combined with the results of Andrews, Baxter and Forrester, we find proof of polynomial identities for finitizations of the Virasoro characters χ (r−1,r) b,a (q) as conjectured by Melzer. In the thermodynamic limit these identities reproduce Rogers–Ramanujan type ...
متن کاملRefined q-trinomial coefficients and character identities
A refinement of the q-trinomial coefficients is introduced, which has a very powerful iterative property. This “T -invariance” is applied to derive new Virasoro character identities related to the exceptional simply-laced Lie algebras E6,E7 and E8.
متن کاملOn Holomorphic Artin L-functions
Let K/Q be a finite Galois extension, s0 ∈ C \ {1}, Hol(s0) the semigroup of Artin L-functions holomorphic at s0. We present criteria for Artin’s holomorphy conjecture in terms of the semigroup Hol(s0). We conjecture that Artin’s L-functions are holomorphic at s0 if and only if Hol(s0) is factorial. We prove this if s0 is a zero of an L-function associated to a linear character of the Galois gr...
متن کاملOn the history of Artin’s L-functions and conductors Seven letters from Artin to Hasse in the year 1930
In the year 1923 Emil Artin introduced his new L-functions belonging to Galois characters. But his theory was still incomplete in two respects. First, the theory depended on the validity of the General Reciprocity Law which Artin was unable at that time to prove in full generality. Secondly, in the explicit definition of L-functions the ramified primes could not be taken into account; hence tha...
متن کاملFermionic Expressions for Minimal Model Virasoro Characters
Fermionic expressions for all minimal model Virasoro characters χ ′ r,s are stated and proved. Each such expression is a sum of terms of fundamental fermionic form type. In most cases, all these terms are written down using certain trees which are constructed for s and r from the Takahashi lengths and truncated Takahashi lengths associated with the continued fraction of p/p. In the remaining ca...
