We study invariant Hermitian forms on a conformal vertex algebra and on their (twisted) modules. We establish existence of a non-zero invariant Hermitian form on an arbitrary $W$-algebra. We show that for a minimal simple $W$-algebra…

Using the projective oscillator representation of sl(n+1) and Shen's mixed product for Witt algebras, Zhao and the second author (2011) constructed a new functor from sl(n)-Mod to sl(n+1)-Mod. In this paper, we start from n = 2 and use the…

For a real reductive linear Lie group G, the space of Whittaker functions is the representation space induced from a non-degenerate unitary character of the Iwasawa nilpotent subgroup. Defined are the standard Whittaker (g,K)-modules, which…

The characters of the unitarizable highest weight modules over the N=2 superconformal algebras are presented. This is a slightly extended version of an Encyclopedia entry.

In this paper, given a module $W$ for a vertex operator algebra $V$ and a nonzero complex number $z$ we construct a canonical (weak) $V\otimes V$-module ${\cal{D}}_{P(z)}(W)$ (a subspace of $W^{*}$ depending on $z$). We prove that for…

The present paper is revised copy of hep-th/9303087 in which higher spin extensions of the nonabelian gauge symmetries for the classical WZNW model are considered. Both linear and nonlinear realizations of the extended affine Kac-Moody…

A study of the gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models is given focusing on the effect of topologically non-trivial configurations of gauge fields. A correlation function is expressed as an integral over a moduli space of holomorphic bundles with…

We construct modular invariants on the moduli space of quantum vacua of N=2 SYM with gauge group SU(2). We also introduce a nonchiral function K which is expressed in terms of the Seiberg-Witten and Poincare' metrics. It turns out that K…

In this work we consider anomalous and linear holographic hard wall (HW) models for light unflavored mesons inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence. The anomalous dimensions depend on the logarithm of the spin S of the meson state and come…

Invertible image representation methods (transforms) are routinely employed as low-level image processing operations based on which feature extraction and recognition algorithms are developed. Most transforms in current use (e.g. Fourier,…

Modular graph functions associate to a graph an $SL(2,Z)$-invariant function on the upper half plane. We obtain the Fourier series of modular graph functions of arbitrary weight $w$ and two-loop order. The motivation for this work is to…

We introduce a new family of real analytic modular forms on the upper half plane. They are arguably the simplest class of `mixed' versions of modular forms of level one and are constructed out of real and imaginary parts of iterated…

We use recent results of Rolen, Zwegers, and the first author to study characters of irreducible (highest weight) modules for the vertex operator algebra $L_{\frak{sl}_\ell}(-\Lambda_0)$. We establish asymptotic behaviors of characters for…

Flagged Schur modules generalize the irreducible representations of the general linear group under the action of the Borel subalgebra. Their characters include many important generalizations of Schur polynomials, such as Demazure…

This article aims to review a selection of central topics and examples in logarithmic conformal field theory. It begins with a pure Virasoro example, critical percolation, then continues with a detailed exposition of symplectic fermions,…

We study the renormalisation group flows between minimal W models by means of a new set of nonlinear integral equations which provide access to the effective central charge of both unitary and nonunitary models. We show that the scaling…

For a second countable locally compact group $G$ and a closed abelian subgroup $H$, we give a range function classification of closed subspaces in $L^2(G)$ invariant under left translation by $H$. For a family $\mathscr{A} \subset L^2(G)$,…

We obtain new lower bounds for the number of Fourier coefficients of a weakly holomorphic modular form of half-integral weight not divisible by some prime $\ell$. Among the applications of this we show that there are $\gg \sqrt{X}/\log \log…

We propose a new procedure to embed second class systems by introducing Wess-Zumino (WZ) fields in order to unveil hidden symmetries existent in the models. This formalism is based on the direct imposition that the new Hamiltonian must be…

We interpret the chiral WZNW model with general monodromy as an infinite dimensional quasi-Hamiltonian dynamical system. This interpretation permits to explain the totality of complicated cross-terms in the symplectic structures of various…
