Abstract

We make the first attempt to define S-transformations for CFT2_2 as linear mappings from closed to open sector linear spaces. The definition is based on closed-open sector linear space isomorphisms and boundary condition completeness. Diagonal RCFTs can be applied to our definition straight-forwardly, while more classes of CFT2_2 are expected to be applicable. An unconventional open sector sewing, not among open sector sewing introduced by Lewellen, rises naturally and generalizes the definition. Our geometrical approach, partially inspired by string field theory, reveals the relationship between algebraic information in CFT2_2 and curvature on surfaces.

Comments

Errors in the method to determine the S-transformation coefficients, because the characters for the surfaces are not simply the product of characters for cylinders. Errors in the linear spaces assigned to surfaces in string vertices regions.More concrete definition for open sector linear spaces also required
