Abstract

The parafermionic cosets Ck=Com(H,Lk(sl2))C_k = \mathrm{Com} (H, L_k(\mathfrak{sl}_2) ) are studied for negative admissible levels kk, as are certain infinite-order simple current extensions BkB_k of CkC_k. Under the assumption that the tensor theory considerations of Huang, Lepowsky and Zhang apply to CkC_k, all irreducible CkC_k- and BkB_k-modules are obtained from those of Lk(sl2)L_k(\mathfrak{sl}_2), as are the Grothendieck fusion rules of these irreducible modules. Notably, there are only finitely many irreducible BkB_k-modules. The irreducible CkC_k- and BkB_k-characters are computed and the latter are shown, when supplemented by pseudotraces, to carry a finite-dimensional representation of the modular group. The natural conjecture then is that the BkB_k are C2C_2-cofinite vertex operator algebras.
