Fixed point resolution in conformal field theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We summarize recent progress in the understanding of fixed point resolution for conformal field theories. Fixed points in both coset conformal field theories and non-diagonal modular invariants which describe simple current extensions of chiral algebras are investigated. A crucial role is played by the mathematical structures of twining characters and orbit Lie algebras.
