Abstract
topological field theories based on WZW models are constructed and studied. These coset models are formulated as Complex BRST cohomology in , the complexified level current algebra. The finite physical spectrum corresponds to the conformal blocks of .The amplitudes for theories are argued to be given in terms of the fusion rules. The character is the Kac-Weyl numerator of and is interpreted as an index. The Complex BRST cohomology is found to contain states of arbitrary ghost number. Intriguing similarities of to matter systems coupled to two dimensional gravity are pointed out.
