Abstract

Using N=2 Landau-Ginzburg theories, we examine the recent conjectures relating the SU(3) WZW modular invariants, finite subgroups of SU(3) and Gorenstein singularities. All isolated three-dimensional Gorenstein singularities do not appear to be related to any known Landau-Ginzburg theories, but we present some curious observations which suggest that the SU(3)_n/SU(2)xU(1) Kazama-Suzuki model may be related to a deformed geometry of C^3/Z_{n+3}xZ_{n+3}. The toric resolution diagrams of those particular singularities are also seen to be classifying the diagonal modular invariants of the SU(3)_n as well as the SU(2)_{n+1} WZW models.
