`Analytic Continuation' of N=2 Minimal Model

Abstract

In this paper we discuss what theory should be identified as the `analytic continuation' with NNN \rightarrow -N of the N=2{\cal N}=2 minimal model with the central charge c^=12N\hat{c} = 1 - \frac{2}{N}. We clarify how the elliptic genus of the expected model is written in terms of {\em holomorphic\/} linear combinations of the `modular completions' introduced in [arXiv:1012.5721 [hep-th]] in the SL(2)N+2/U(1)SL(2)_{N+2}/U(1)-supercoset theory. We further discuss how this model could be interpreted as a kind of {\em `compactified'} model of the SL(2)N+2/U(1)SL(2)_{N+2}/U(1)-supercoset in the (R~,R~)(\tilde{R},\tilde{R})-sector, in which only the discrete spectrum appears in the torus partition function and the potential IR-divergence due to the non-compactness of target space is removed. We also briefly argue on possible definitions of the sectors with other spin structures.
