Systematic Approach to Cyclic Orbifolds
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce an orbifold induction procedure which provides a systematic construction of cyclic orbifolds, including their twisted sectors. The procedure gives counterparts in the orbifold theory of all the current-algebraic constructions of conformal field theory and enables us to find the orbifold characters and their modular transformation properties.

Cyclic Coset Orbifolds
We apply the new orbifold duality transformations to discuss the special case of cyclic coset orbifolds in further detail. We focus in particular on the case of the interacting cyclic coset orbifolds, whose untwisted sectors are Zλ(permutation)-invariant g/h coset constructions which are not λ copies of coset constructions. Because λ copies are not involved, the action of Zλ(permutation) in the...
متن کاملExtended Operator Algebra and Reducibility in the WZW Permutation Orbifolds
Recently the operator algebra, including the twisted affine primary fields, and a set of twisted KZ equations were given for the WZW permutation orbifolds. In the first part of this paper we extend this operator algebra to include the so-called orbifold Virasoro algebra of each WZW permutation orbifold. These algebras generalize the orbifold Virasoro algebras (twisted Virasoro operators) found ...
متن کاملWeighted Bergman kernels on orbifolds
We describe a notion of ampleness for line bundles on orbifolds with cyclic quotient singularities that is related to embeddings in weighted projective space, and prove a global asymptotic expansion for a weighted Bergman kernel associated to such a line bundle.
متن کاملThe Orbifolds of Permutation-type as Physical String Systems at Multiples of C = 26 v. Cyclic Permutation Orbifolds
I consider the Z λ , λ prime free-bosonic permutation orbifolds as interacting physical string systems atˆc = 26λ. As a first step, I introduce twisted tree diagrams which confirm at the interacting level that the physical spectrum of each twisted sector is equivalent to that of an ordinary c = 26 closed string. The untwisted sectors are surprisingly more difficult to understand, and there are ...
متن کامل/Zn orbifolds and their resolutions
We formulate the effective field theory of a D-particle on orbifolds of T 4 by a cyclic group as a gauge theory in a V -bundle over the dual orbifold. We argue that this theory admits Fayet-Iliopoulos terms analogous to those present in the case of noncompact orbifolds. In the n = 2 case, we present some evidence that turning on such terms resolves the orbifold singularities and may lead to a K...
