Conformal-field-theoretic analogues of codes and lattices

چکیده
We introduce and study what we call “completely-extendable conformal intertwining algebras.” Based on results obtained in earlier papers of the author, various examples are given. Duals of these algebras are constructed and nondegenerate such algebras are defined. We prove that the double dual of such a nondegenerate algebra is equal to itself. We explain how these nondegenerate algebras are the correct conformal-field-theoretic analogues of linear binary codes and nondegenerate rational lattices.

Third and Higher Order NFPA Twisted Constructions of Conformal Field Theories from Lattices
We investigate orbifold constructions of conformal field theories from lattices by no-fixed-point automorphisms (NFPA’s) Zp for p prime, p > 2, concentrating on the case p = 3. Explicit expressions are given for most of the relevant vertex operators, and we consider the locality relations necessary for these to define a consistent conformal field theory. A relation to constructions of lattices ...
متن کاملConformal Designs based on Vertex Operator Algebras
We introduce the notion of a conformal design based on a vertex operator algebra. This notation is a natural analog of the notion of block designs or spherical designs when the elements of the design are based on self-orthogonal binary codes or integral lattices, respectively. It is shown that the subspaces of fixed degree of an extremal self-dual vertex operator algebra form conformal 11-, 7-,...
متن کاملRandom Ensembles of Lattices from Generalized Reductions
We propose a general framework to study constructions of Euclidean lattices from linear codes over finite fields. In particular, we prove general conditions for an ensemble constructed using linear codes to contain dense lattices (i.e., with packing density comparable to the Minkowski-Hlawka lower bound). Specializing to number field lattices, we obtain a number of interesting corollaries for i...
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...
متن کاملHolomorphic Chern-Simons-Witten Theory: from 2D to 4D Conformal Field Theories
It is well known that rational 2D conformal field theories are connected with Chern-Simons theories defined on 3D real manifolds. We consider holomorphic analogues of Chern-Simons theories defined on 3D complex manifolds (six real dimensions) and describe 4D conformal field theories connected with them. All these models are integrable. We describe analogues of the Virasoro and affine Lie algebr...
