High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-22 v2

Abstract

We demonstrate that the parafermions appear in the rr-th root of unity limit of qq-Virasoro/WnW_n algebra. The proper value of the central charge of the coset model sl^(n)rsl^(n)mnsl^(n)mn+r \frac{\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}(n)_r \oplus \widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}(n)_{m-n}}{\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}(n)_{m-n+r}} is given from the parafermion construction of the block in the limit.
