Orbifold Construction

We present a method which generates the modular-invariant partition functions of the ADE series of SU(2)k. Dividing the diagonal theory by discrete subgroups of the conformal group, we construct all the modular-invariant partition functions, thus proving that orbifold construction generates all the partition functions of SU(2)k.

Abstract We investigate the Poincaré series approach to computing 3d gravity partition functions dual to Rational CFT. For a single genus-1 boundary, we show that for certain infinite sets of levels, the SU(2)k WZW models provide unitary examples for which the Poincaré series is a positive linear combination of two modular-invariant partition functions. This supports the interpretation that the bulk gravity theory (a topological Chern-Simons theory in this case) is dual to an average of distinct CFT’s sharing the same Kac-Moody algebra. We compute the weights of this average for all seed primaries and all relevant values of k. We then study other WZW models, notably SU(N)1 and SU(3)k, and find that each class presents rather different features. Finally we consider multiple genus-1 boundaries, where we find a class of seed functions for the Poincaré sum that reproduces both disconnected and connected contributions — the latter corresponding to analogues of 3-manifold “wormholes” — such that the expected average is correctly reproduced.

Ade Classification

Jones fundamental construction is applied to rational conformal field theories. The Jones algebra which emerges in this application is realized in terms of duality operations. The generators of the algebra are an open version of Verlinde’s operators. The polynomial equations appear in this context as sufficient conditions for the existence of Jones algebra. The ADE classification of modular invariant partition functions is put in correspondence with Jones classification of subfactors.

Level 2

For each N an infinite number of conformal field theories is presented that has the same fusion rules as SO (N) level 2. These new theories are obtained as extensions of the chiral algebra of SO (NM2) level 2, and correspond to new modular invariant partition functions of these theories. A one-to-one map between the c=1 orbifolds of radius R2=2r and Dr level 2 plays an essential role.

Loop Channel

We classify the possible operator contents of the minimal conformal field theories when boundaries and crosscaps are present by imposing loop channel-tree channel duality conditions. These are the open string analogues of modular invariant partition functions, which play a crucial role in string theory model building.

In 1986 Cappelli, Itzykson and Zuber classified all modular invariant partition functions for the conformal field theories associated to the affine A1 algebra; they found they fall into an A-D-E pattern. Their proof was difficult and attempts to generalise it to the other affine algebras failed — in hindsight the reason is that their argument ignored most of the rich mathematical structure present. We give here the "modern" proof of their result; it is an order of magnitude simpler and shorter, and much of it has already been extended to all other affine algebras. We conclude with some remarks on the A-D-E pattern appearing in this and other RCFT classifications.

We construct spacetime supersymmetric, modular invariant partition functions for type II and heterotic strings on the conifold-type singularities such that they include contributions coming from the discrete-series representations of SL(2, R). In particular for the E8 × E8 heterotic case, they are in the 27 representation of E6 and localized on a four-dimensional "brane" at the tip of the cigar geometry.

General properties of the fusion matrices and their explicit expression given by the Uq( sl (2)) quantum 6j-symbols are exploited to analyze some two dimensional c<1 conformal theories. The primary fields structure constants of the local theory, corresponding to the (A10, E6) modular invariant, and of the Z2 quasilocal analogs of the (A, D) and (A10, E6) series, are computed. The list of the Γ0(2) submodular invariant partition functions on the torus is extended.
