On Structure Constants of sl(2) Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
Structure constants of minimal conformal theories are reconsidered. It is shown that ratios of structure constants of spin zero fields of a non-diagonal theory over the same evaluated in the diagonal theory are given by a simple expression in terms of the components of the eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix of the corresponding Dynkin diagram. This is proved by inspection, which leads us to carefully determine the signs of the structure constants that had not all appeared in the former works on the subject. We also present a proof relying on the consideration of lattice correlation functions and speculate on the extension of these identities to more complicated theories.

Operator Algebra of the SL(2) conformal field theories
Structure constants of Operator Algebras for the SL(2) degenerate conformal field theories are calculated. LANDAU-95-TMP-1 hep-th/9504082 Since the seminal work of Belavin, Polyakov and Zamolodchikov [1], there has been much progress in understanding two-dimensional conformal field theories. It is essential to compute the structure constants of Operator Algebra of such theories. In fact, it was...
متن کاملOn Structure Constants and Fusion Rules in the Sl ( 2 , C ) / Su ( 2 ) Wznw Model
A closed formula for the structure constants in the SL(2,C)/SU(2) WZNW model is derived by a method previously used in Liouville theory. With the help of a reflection amplitude that follows from the structure constants one obtains a proposal for the fusion rules from canonical quantization. Taken together these pieces of information allow an unambigous definition of any genus zero n-point funct...
متن کاملThe reduced open membrane metric
We discuss the reduction of the open membrane metric and determine the (previously unknown) conformal factor. We also construct SL(2,R) invariant open string metrics and complex open string coupling constants by reducing the open membrane metric on a 2-torus. In doing so we also clarify some issues on manifest SL(2,R) symmetry of the D3-brane. We remark on the consequences of our results for th...
متن کاملOn the conformal bootstrap for SL(2,R)-WZNW models
Quantization of the SL(2,R)-WZNW model will be discussed from the point of view of the conformal bootstrap. Conformal blocks are defined from representations of affine sl(2) that are neither of highest nor lowest weight type. The general expression for the structure constants resp. three point functions is derived. Supplemented by a conjecture on the set of intermediate representations that con...
متن کاملC - algebras and their applications to reflection groups and conformal field theories
The aim of this lecture is to present the concept of C-algebra and to illustrate its applications in two contexts: the study of reflection groups and their folding on the one hand, the structure of rational conformal field theories on the other. For simplicity the discussion is restricted to finite Coxeter groups and conformal theories with a sl(2) current algebra, but it may be extended to a l...
