Tft Construction of Rcft Correlators V: Proof of Modular Invariance and Factorisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The correlators of two-dimensional rational conformal field theories that are obtained in the TFT construction of [ I , II , IV ] are shown to be invariant under the action of the relative modular group and to obey bulk and boundary factorisation constraints. We present results both for conformal field theories defined on oriented surfaces and for theories defined on unoriented surfaces. In the latter case, in particular the so-called cross cap constraint is included.

Tft Construction of Rcft Correlators Iii: Simple Currents
We use simple currents to construct symmetric special Frobenius algebras in modular tensor categories. We classify such simple current type algebras with the help of abelian group cohomology. We show that they lead to the modular invariant torus partition functions that have been studied by Kreuzer and Schellekens. We also classify boundary conditions in the associated conformal field theories ...
متن کاملTft Construction of Rcft Correlators I: Partition Functions
We formulate rational conformal field theory in terms of a symmetric special Frobenius algebra A and its representations. A is an algebra in the modular tensor category of Moore--Seiberg data of the underlying chiral CFT. The multiplication on A corresponds to the OPE of boundary fields for a single boundary condition. General boundary conditions are A-modules, and (generalised) defect lines ar...
متن کاملTft Construction of Rcft Correlators Iv: Structure Constants and Correlation Functions
We compute the fundamental correlation functions in two-dimensional rational conformal field theory, from which all other correlators can be obtained by sewing: the correlators of three bulk fields on the sphere, one bulk and one boundary field on the disk, three boundary fields on the disk, and one bulk field on the cross cap. We also consider conformal defects and calculate the correlators of...

We give a general construction of correlation functions in rational conformal field theory on a possibly non-orientable surface with boundary in terms of 3-dimensional topological quantum field theory. The construction applies to any modular category. It is proved that these correlation functions obey modular invariance and factorization rules. Structure constants are calculated and expressed i...
متن کامل1 99 7 DAMTP - 97 - 102 October 1997 Gauge Invariance and Factorisation in Exclusive Meson Production
The structure of the nonperturbative vector meson vertex function complicates the proof of the factorisation theorem for the reaction γ * p → V p. It leads to additional contributions but, in a simple model for the vertex function, gauge invariance ensures that they cancel and factorisation is preserved.
