Semi - Classical Blocks and Correlators in Rational and Irrational Conformal Field Theory
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 c...
متن کاملRecent Progress in Irrational Conformal Field Theory
In this talk, I will review the foundations of irrational conformal field theory (ICFT), which includes rational conformal field theory as a small subspace. Highlights of the review include the Virasoro master equation, the Ward identities for the correlators of ICFT and solutions of the Ward identities. In particular, I will discuss the solutions for the correlators of the g/h coset constructi...
متن کاملCongruence Subgroups and Rational Conformal Field Theory
We address here the question of whether the characters of an RCFT are modular functions for some level N , i.e. whether the representation of the modular group SL2(Z) coming from any RCFT is trivial on some congruence subgroup. We prove that if the matrix T , associated to (
متن کاملD-brane Conformal Field Theory and Bundles of Conformal Blocks
Conformal blocks form a system of vector bundles over the moduli space of complex curves with marked points. We discuss various aspects of these bundles. In particular, we present conjectures about the dimensions of sub-bundles. They imply a Verlinde formula for non-simply connected groups like PGL(n, C). We then explain how conformal blocks enter in the construction of conformal field theories...

I review the foundations of irrational conformal field theory (ICFT), which includes rational conformal field theory as a small subspace. Highlights of the review include the Virasoro master equation and the generalized Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations for the correlators of ICFT on the sphere and the torus.
