Knot invariants from rational conformal field theories
A framework for studying knot and link invariants from any rational conformal field theory is developed. In particular, minimal models, superconformal models and WN models are studied. The invariants are related to the invariants obtained from the Wess-Zumino models associated with the coset representations of these models. Possible Chern-Simons representation of these models is also indicated....
متن کاملKnot Invariants from Classical Field Theories
We consider the Non-Abelian Chern-Simons term coupled to external particles, in a gauge and diffeomorphism invariant form. The classical equations of motion are perturbativelly studied, and the on-shell action is shown to produce knot-invariants associated with the sources. The first contributions are explicitely calculated, and the corresponding knot-invariants are recognized. We conclude that...
متن کاملBoundary Conditions in Rational Conformal Field Theories
We develop further the theory of Rational Conformal Field Theories (RCFTs) on a cylinder with specified boundary conditions emphasizing the role of a triplet of algebras: the Verlinde, graph fusion and Pasquier algebras. We show that solving Cardy’s equation, expressing consistency of a RCFT on a cylinder, is equivalent to finding integer valued matrix representations of the Verlinde algebra. T...
متن کاملRational Conformal Field Theories and Complex Multiplication
We study the geometric interpretation of two dimensional rational conformal field theories, corresponding to sigma models on Calabi-Yau manifolds. We perform a detailed study of RCFT’s corresponding to T 2 target and identify the Cardy branes with geometric branes. The T ’s leading to RCFT’s admit “complex multiplication” which characterizes Cardy branes as specific D0-branes. We propose a cond...
متن کاملRational Conformal Field Theories With G 2 Holonomy
We study conformal field theories for strings propagating on compact, seven-dimensional manifolds with G 2 holonomy. In particular, we describe the construction of rational examples of such models. We argue that analogues of Gepner models are to be constructed based not on N = 1 minimal models, but on Z 2 orbifolds of N = 2 models. In Z 2 orbifolds of Gepner models times a circle, it turns out ...
