Abstract

This paper finds for all orthogonal algebras (i.e. the B and D series) all modular invariant 1-loop partition functions at levels 1,2,3. Previously, only those at level 1 were classified. An extraordinary number of exceptionals appear at level 2 -- indeed this is the primary motivation for this paper -- and we find infinitely many new ones there. The only level 3 exceptionals occur for B2B_2 and D7D_7, and the latter appear to be new. The B2,3B_{2,3} and D7,3D_{7,3} exceptionals are cousins of the "E6E_6" and "E8E_8" exceptionals in the A-D-E classification for affine A1A_1, while the level 2 exceptionals are related to the lattice invariants of affine u(1).
