چکیده

The generalized Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations of irrational conformal field theory provide a uniform description of rational and irrational conformal field theory. Starting from the known high-level solution of these equations, we first construct the high-level conformal blocks and correlators of all the affine-Sugawara and coset constructions on simple g. Using intuition gained from these cases, we then identify a simple class of irrational processes whose high-level blocks and correlators we are also able to construct.

Solving the Ward Identities of Irrational Conformal Field Theory

The affine-Virasoro Ward identities are a system of non-linear differential equations which describe the correlators of all affine-Virasoro constructions, including rational and irrational conformal field theory. We study the Ward identities in some detail, with several central results. First, we solve for the correlators of the affine-Sugawara nests, which are associated to the nested subgroup...

Flat Connections and Non - Local Conserved Quantities in Irrational Conformal Field Theory

Irrational conformal field theory (ICFT) includes rational conformal field theory as a small subspace, and the affine-Virasoro Ward identities describe the biconformal correlators of ICFT. We reformulate the Ward identities as an equivalent linear partial differential system with flat connections and new non-local conserved quantities. As examples of the formulation, we solve the system of flat...

The Representations of Temperley - Lieb - Jones Algebras ̄

Representations of braid group obtained from rational conformal field theories can be used to obtain explicit representations of Temperley-Lieb-Jones algebras. The method is described in detail for SU(2) k Wess-Zumino conformal field theories and its generalization to an arbitrary rational conformal field theory outlined. Explicit definition of an associated linear trace operation in terms of a...
