A Unified Scheme for Modular Invariant Partition Functions of WZW Models

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v2

Abstract

We introuduce a unified method which can be applied to any WZW model at arbitrary level to search systematically for modular invariant physical partition functions. Our method is based essentially on modding out a known theory on group manifold GG by a discrete group Γ\Gamma. We apply our method to su(n)^\widehat {su(n)} with n=2,3,4,5,6n=2,3,4,5,6, and to g2^\widehat {g_2} models, and obtain all the known partition functions and some new ones, and give explicit expressions for all of them.
