We attempt a direct derivation of a conformal field theory description of 2D quantum gravity~+~matter from the formalism of integrable hierarchies subjected to Virasoro constraints. The construction is based on a generalization of the…
We construct collective field theories associated with one-matrix plus $r$ vector models. Such field theories describe the continuum limit of spin Calogero Moser models. The invariant collective fields consist of a scalar density coupled to…
We apply the general theory of tensor products of modules for a vertex operator algebra developed in our papers hep-th/9309076, hep-th/9309159, hep-th/9401119, q-alg/9505018, q-alg/9505019 and q-alg/9505020 to the case of the…
Since the work of Bershadsky and Ooguri and Feigin and Frenkel it is well known that correlators of $SL(2)$ current algebra for admissible representations should reduce to correlators for conformal minimal models. A precise proposal for…
We seek exact solutions to the Einstein field equations which arise when two spacetime geometries are conformally related. Whilst this is a simple method to generate new solutions to the field equations, very few such examples have been…
We present a theoretical framework for a class of generalized $U(1)$ gauge effective field theories. These theories are defined by specifying geometric patterns of charge configurations that can be created by local operators, which then…
We study the correlation functions of logarithmic conformal field theories. First, assuming conformal invariance, we explicitly calculate two-- and three-- point functions. This calculation is done for the general case of more than one…
The Kazakov-Migdal model, if considered as a functional of external fields, can be always represented as an expansion over characters of $GL$ group. The integration over "matter fields" can be interpreted as going over the {\it model} (the…
The unified $ (p,q; \alpha,\gamma, l)$-deformation of a number of well-known deformed oscillator algebras is introduced.The deformation is constructed by imputing new free parameters into the structure functions and by generalizing the…
We construct the representation of Double Affine Hecke Algebra whose symmetrization gives the center of the quantum group U_q(sl(2)) and by Kazhdan--Lusztig duality the Verlinde algebra of (1,p) models of logarithmic conformal field theory.
We generalize Regge theory to correlation functions in conformal field theories. This is done by exploring the analogy between Mellin amplitudes in AdS/CFT and S-matrix elements. In the process, we develop the conformal partial wave…
In this article which is the first of a series of three, we consider $\mathcal W({\mathfrak{sl}_d})$-symmetric conformal field theory in topological regimes for a generic value of the background charge, where $\mathcal W({\mathfrak{sl}_d})$…
The quantum affine $\CU_q (\hat{sl(2)}) $ symmetry is studied when $q^2$ is an even root of unity. The structure of this algebra allows a natural generalization of N=2 supersymmetry algebra. In particular it is found that the momentum…
Dominant weight multiplicities of simple Lie groups are expressed in terms of the modular matrices of Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theories, and related objects. Symmetries of the modular matrices give rise to new relations among…
Representations of braid group obtained from rational conformal field theories can be used to obtain explicit representations of Temperley-Lieb-Jones algebras. The method is described in detail for SU(2)$_k$ Wess - Zumino conformal field…
Following our previous papers (hep-th/0212158 and hep-th/0303126) we complete the construction of the parafermionic theory with the symmetry Z_N based on the second solution of Fateev-Zamolodchikov for the corresponding parafermionic chiral…
We consider the Feigin-Fuchs-Felder formalism of the $SU(2)_k\times SU(2)_l/SU(2)_{k+l}$ coset minimal conformal field theory and extend it to higher genus. We investigate a double BRST complex with respect to two compatible BRST charges,…
We first describe, over a field K of characteristic different from 2, the orbits for the adjoint actions of the Lie groups PGL(2, K) and PSL(2, K) on their Lie algebra sl(2, K). While the former are well known, the latter lead to the…
It is proved that for a vector space W, any set of parafermion-like vertex operators on W in a certain canonical way generates a generalized vertex algebra in the sense of [DL2] with W as a natural module. This result generalizes a result…
In this paper a class of conformal field theories with nonabelian and discrete group of symmetry is investigated. These theories are realized in terms of free scalar fields starting from the simple $b-c$ systems and scalar fields on…
