Bundles of Chiral Blocks and Boundary Conditions in Cft
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various aspects of spaces of chiral blocks are discussed. In particular, conjectures about the dimensions of irreducible sub-bundles are reviewed and their relation to symmetry breaking conformal boundary conditions is outlined. —————— Invited talk by Jürgen Fuchs at the Workshop on Lie Theory and Its Applications in Physics -Lie III (Clausthal, July 1999); slightly extended version of contribution to the Proceedings.

The Action of Outer Automorphisms on Bundles of Chiral Blocks
On the bundles of WZW chiral blocks over the moduli space of a punctured rational curve we construct isomorphisms that implement the action of outer automorphisms of the underlying affine Lie algebra. These bundle-isomorphisms respect the Knizhnik--Zamolodchikov connection and have finite order. When all primary fields are fixed points, the isomorphisms are endomorphisms; in this case, the bund...
متن کاملCategory theory for conformal boundary conditions
We study properties of the category of modules of an algebra object A in a tensor category C. We show that the module category inherits various structures from C, provided that A is a Frobenius algebra with certain additional properties. As a by-product we obtain results about the Frobenius--Schur indicator in sovereign tensor categories. A braiding on C is not needed, nor is semisimplicity. We...
متن کاملCHERN–SIMONS GAUGE THEORY AND THE AdS3/CFT2 CORRESPONDENCE
The bulk partition function of pure Chern–Simons theory on a three-manifold is a state in the space of conformal blocks of the dual boundary RCFT, and therefore transforms non-trivially under the boundary modular group. In contrast the bulk partition function of AdS3 string theory is the modular-invariant partition function of the dual CFT on the boundary. This is a puzzle because AdS3 string t...
متن کاملDirector Structures in a Chiral Nematic Slab: Threshold Field and Pitch Variations
Abstract The liquid crystal director distribution is determined for a confined chiral nematic slab. The molecular director distribution of the field-controlled chiral nematic slab is directly calculated. The director profiles for the tilt and the twist angles, under different applied fields, are calculated in the slab with weak boundary conditions. Then, the dependence of the threshold field on...
متن کاملChiral Gravity, Log Gravity, and Extremal CFT
We show that the linearization of all exact solutions of classical chiral gravity around the AdS3 vacuum have positive energy. Non-chiral and negative-energy solutions of the linearized equations are infrared divergent at second order, and so are removed from the spectrum. In other words, chirality is confined and the equations of motion have linearization instabilities. We prove that the only ...
