We investigate a class of reducible yet indecomposable modules over the N=2 superconformal algebras. These so-called staggered exhibit non-diagonalisable action Virasoro mode L0. Using recent results on coset construction minimal models, we explicitly construct such for central charges c=−1 and c=−6. also describe spectral-flow orbits symmetries families which arise via coset.

The concept of a coset-preserving skew-morphism is a generalization of the widely studied t-balanced skew-morphisms of regular Cayley maps which are in turn generalizations of group automorphisms. In case of abelian groups, all skew-morphisms of regular Cayley maps are roots of coset-preserving skew-morphisms, and therefore, classification of cosetpreserving skew-morphisms of finite abelian gro...

Conformal field theories with ŝl(2)−1/2 symmetry are studied with a view to investigating logarithmic structures. Applying the parafermionic coset construction to the non-logarithmic theory, a part of the structure of the triplet model is uncovered. In particular, the coset theory is shown to admit the triplet W -algebra as a chiral algebra. This motivates the introduction of an augmented ŝl(2)...

Let A be a local commutative principal ideal ring. We study the double coset space of GLn(A) with respect to the subgroup of upper triangular matrices. Geometrically, these cosets describe the relative position of two full flags of free primitive submodules of A. We introduce some invariants of the double cosets. If k is the length of the ring, we determine for which of the pairs (n, k) the dou...

We extend the analysis [18] of the canonical structure of the Wess-Zumino-Witten theory to the bulk and boundary coset G/H models. The phase spaces of the coset theories in the closed and in the open geometry appear to coincide with those of a double ChernSimons theory on two different 3-manifolds. In particular, we obtain an explicit description of the canonical structure of the boundary G/G c...

We study states of large charge density in integrable conformal coset models. For the O(2) coset, we consider two different S-matrices, one corresponding to a Thirring mass perturbation and the other to the continuation to O(2+ ). The former leads to simplification in the conformal limit; the latter gives a more complicated description of the O(2) system, with a large zero mode sector in additi...

We relate the mechanism of matter creation in the universe after inflation to a simple and universal mathematical property of extended N > 1 supergravities and related compactifications of superstring theory. We show that in all such models, the inflaton field may decay into vector fields due to a nonminimal scalar-vector coupling. This coupling is compulsory for all scalars except N = 2 hypers...

We study realizations of the exceptional non-linear (quadratically generated, or W type) N = 8 and N = 7 superconformal algebras with Spin(7) and G2 affine symmetry currents, respectively. Both the N = 8 and N = 7 algebras admit unitary highestweight representations in terms of a single boson and free fermions in 8 of Spin(7) and 7 of G2, with the central charges c8 = 26/5 and c7 = 5, respectiv...

It is shown that the coset lattice of a finite group has shellable order complex if and only if the group is complemented. Furthermore, the coset lattice is shown to have a Cohen–Macaulay order complex in exactly the same conditions. The group theoretical tools used are relatively elementary, and avoid the classification of finite simple groups and of minimal finite simple groups. © 2006 Elsevi...

A simple sphere bound gives the best possible tradeoff between the volume per point of an infinite array and its error probability on an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. It is shown that the sphere bound can be approached by a large class of coset codes or multilevel coset codes with multistage decoding, including certain binary lattices. These codes have structure of the kind that...
