Characters For Coset Conformal Field Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We present formulae for the characters of coset conformal field theories and apply these to specific examples to determine the integer shift of the conformal weights of primary fields. We also present an example of a coset conformal field theory which cannot be described by the identification current method.

Flat Connections for Characters in Irrational Conformal Field Theory
Abstract Following the paradigm on the sphere, we begin the study of irrational conformal field theory (ICFT) on the torus. In particular, we find that the affine-Virasoro characters of ICFT satisfy heat-like differential equations with flat connections. As a first example, we solve the system for the general g/h coset construction, obtaining an integral representation for the general coset cha...
متن کاملOn a Conjecture of Kac-wakimoto
We prove a conjecture about mininmal index of certain representations of Coset Algebraic Conformal Field Theories under certain conditions as formulated previously by us. As a by-product, the Kac-Wakimoto Conjecture (KWC) which is related to the asympotics of the coset characters is true under the same conditions. The same idea in the proof also proves a recent conjecture related to subfactors ...
متن کاملFermionic Sum Representations for Conformal Field Theory Characters
We present sum representations for all characters of the unitary Virasoro minimal models. They can be viewed as fermionic companions of the Rocha-Caridi sum representations, the latter related to the (bosonic) Feigin-Fuchs-Felder construction. We also give fermionic representations for certain characters of the general (G )k×(G )l (G)k+l coset conformal field theories, the non-unitary minimal m...
متن کامل6 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...
