Multivalued Fields on the Complex Plane and Conformal Field Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper a class of conformal field theories with nonabelian and discrete group of symmetry is investigated. These theories are realized in terms of free scalar fields starting from the simple b− c systems and scalar fields on algebraic curves. The KnizhnikZamolodchikov equations for the conformal blocks can be explicitly solved. Besides of the fact that one obtains in this way an entire class of theories in which the operators obey a nonstandard statistics, these systems are interesting in exploring the connection between statistics and curved space-times, at least in the two dimensional case.

Multivalued Fields on the Complex Plane and Braid Group Statistics
We study in this paper a theory of free anyons associated to free conformal field theories defined on Riemann surfaces with a discrete and nonabelian group of authomorphisms. The particles are exchanged according to a nonabelian statistics, in which the R−matrix satisfy a multiparametric generalization of the usual Yang−Baxter equations.

متن کاملHolomorphic Chern-Simons-Witten Theory: from 2D to 4D Conformal Field Theories
It is well known that rational 2D conformal field theories are connected with Chern-Simons theories defined on 3D real manifolds. We consider holomorphic analogues of Chern-Simons theories defined on 3D complex manifolds (six real dimensions) and describe 4D conformal field theories connected with them. All these models are integrable. We describe analogues of the Virasoro and affine Lie algebr...
متن کاملPP-waves and logarithmic conformal field theories
We provide a world-sheet interpretation to the plane wave limit of a large class of exact supergravity backgrounds in terms of logarithmic conformal field theories. As an illustrative example, we consider the two-dimensional conformal field theory of the coset model SU(2)N/U(1) times a free time-like boson U(1)−N , which admits a space-time interpretation as a three-dimensional plane wave solut...
متن کاملConstraints for Conformal Field Theories on the Plane: Reviving the Conformal
We obtain-a number of results by reexamining conformal field theory on the plane, using only elementary mathematics in the process. In particular we red. -. erive the constraints on conformal dimensions found by Vafa, using the crossing symmetry of four-point amplitudes; find stronger, inequality versions of these conditions which constrain the magnitude of the conformal dimensions of primary L...
متن کاملConformal field theory approach to bulk wave functions in the fractional quantum Hall effect
We propose to describe bulk wave functions of fractional quantum Hall states in terms of correlators of nonunitary b/c-spin systems. These yield a promising conformal field theory analogon of the composite fermion picture of Jain. Fractional statistics is described by twist fields which naturally appear in the b/c-spin systems. We provide a geometrical interpretation of our approach in which bu...
