0 Fusion in coset CFT from admissible singular - vector decoupling

چکیده
Fusion rules for Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models at fractional level can be defined in two ways, with distinct results. The Verlinde formula yields fusion coefficients that can be negative. These signs cancel in coset fusion rules, however. On the other hand, the fusion coefficients calculated from decoupling of singular vectors are non-negative. They produce incorrect coset fusion rules, however, when factorisation is assumed. Here we give two prescriptions that yield the correct coset fusion rules from those found for the WZW models by the decoupling method. We restrict to the Virasoro minimal models for simplicity, and because decoupling results are only complete in the su(2) case.

A Note on Decoupling Conditions for Generic Level ŝl ( 3 ) k and Fusion Rules
We find the solution of the sl(3) k singular vector decoupling equations on 3–point functions for the particular case when one of the fields is of weight w 0 · kΛ 0. The result is a function with non-trivial singularities in the flag variables, namely a linear combination of 2 F 1 hypergeometric functions. This calculation fills in a gap in [1] and confirms the sl(3) k fusion rules determined t...
متن کاملFusion Rules for ŝl ( 2 | 1 ; C ) at Fractional Level k = − 1 / 2
We calculate fusion rules for the admissible representations of the superalgebra ŝl(2|1;C)k at fractional level k = −1/2 in the Ramond sector. By representing 3point correlation functions involving a singular vector as the action of differential operators on the sl(2|1;C) invariant 3-point function, we obtain conditions on permitted quantum numbers involved. We find that in this case the primar...

متن کاملDuality Symmetries and Topology Change in String Theory
Duality symmetries for strings moving in non-trivial spacetime backgrounds are analysed. It is shown that for backgrounds generated from WZW and coset CFT models such duality symmetries are exact to all orders in string perturbation theory. Their implications for string dynamics in non-trivial/singular spacetimes are discussed. CERN-TH.7003/93 September 1993 ∗ Talk given at the EPS 93 Conferenc...
