We interpret aspects of the Schur indices, that were identified with characters of highest weight modules in Virasoro $(p,p')=(2,2k+3)$ minimal models for $k=1,2,\dots$, in terms of paths that first appeared in exact solutions in…
We present a new path description for the states of the non-unitary M(k+1,2k+3) models. This description differs from the one induced by the Forrester-Baxter solution, in terms of configuration sums, of their restricted-solid-on-solid…
We present a ``natural finitization'' of the fermionic q-series (certain generalizations of the Rogers-Ramanujan sums) which were recently conjectured to be equal to Virasoro characters of the unitary minimal conformal field theory (CFT)…
For p \in {3, 4} and all p' > p, with p' coprime to p, we obtain fermionic expressions for the combination \chi^{p, p'}_{1, s} + q^{\Delta} \chi^{p, p'}_{p-1,s} of Virasoro (W_2) characters for various values of s, and particular choices of…
This is the first of two articles devoted to the analysis of the path description of the states in su(2)_k WZW models, a representation well suited for constructive derivations of the fermionic characters. In this first article, the cases…
The M(3,p) minimal models are reconsidered from the point of view of the extended algebra whose generators are the energy-momentum tensor and the primary field \phi_{2,1} of dimension $(p-2)/4$. Within this framework, we provide a…
We study combinatorial aspects of q-weighted, length-L Forrester-Baxter paths, P^{p, p'}_{a, b, c}(L), where p, p', a, b, c \in Z_{+}, 0 < p < p', 0 < a, b, c < p', c = b \pm 1, L+a-b \equiv 0 (mod 2), and p and p' are co-prime. We obtain a…
Transportation processes, which play a prominent role in the life and social sciences, are typically described by discrete models on lattices. For studying their dynamics a continuous formulation of the problem via partial differential…
We present a simple bijection between restricted (Bressoud) lattice paths and RSOS paths in regime II. Both types of paths describe states in Z_k parafermionic irreducible modules. The bijection implies a direct correspondence between a…
The lattice problem for models of Peano Arithmetic ($\mathsf{PA}$) is to determine which lattices can be represented as lattices of elementary submodels of a model of $\mathsf{PA}$, or, in greater generality, for a given model…
Lattice QCD should allow a derivation of the $\Delta I=1/2$ rule from first principles, but numerical calculations to date have been plagued by a variety of problems. After a brief review of these problems, we present several new methods…
We consider the logarithmic minimal models LM(1,p) as `rational' logarithmic conformal field theories with extended W symmetry. To make contact with the extended picture starting from the lattice, we identify 4p-2 boundary conditions as…
Fix two lattice paths P and Q from (0,0) to (m,r) that use East and North steps with P never going above Q. We show that the lattice paths that go from (0,0) to (m,r) and that remain in the region bounded by P and Q can be identified with…
We use $p$-component fermions $(p=2,3,...)$ to present $(2p-2)N$-fold integrals as a fermionic expectation value. This yields fermionic representation for various $(2p-2)$-matrix models. Links with the $p$-component KP hierarchy and also…
We investigate in details how the Virasoro algebra appears in the scaling limit of the simplest lattice models of XXZ or RSOS type. Our approach is straightforward but to our knowledge had never been tried so far. We simply formulate a…
A lattice path in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is a sequence $\nu_1,\nu_2,\ldots,\nu_k\in\mathbb{Z}^d$ such that the steps $\nu_i-\nu_{i-1}$ lie in a subset $\mathbf{S}$ of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for all $i=2,\ldots,k$. Let $T_{m,n}$ be the $m\times n$ table in…
The lattice polynomials $L_{i,j}(x)$ are introduced by Hough and Shapiro as a weighted count of certain lattice paths from the origin to the point $(i,j)$. In particular, $L_{2n, n}(x)$ reduces to the generating function of the numbers…
We study fermionic conformal field theories on surfaces with spin structure in the presence of boundaries, defects, and interfaces. We obtain the relevant crossing relations, taking particular care with parity signs and signs arising from…
We investigate linear combinations of characters for minimal Virasoro models which are representable as a products of several basic blocks. Our analysis is based on consideration of asymptotic behaviour of the characters in the…
A recurrence relation of the generating function of the dimer model of Fibonacci type gives a functional relation for formal power series associated to lattice paths such as a Dyck, Motzkin and Schr\"oder path. In this paper, we generalize…
