A natural construction of the logarithmic extension of the M(2,p) minimal models is presented, which generalises our previous model [0708.0802] of percolation (p=3). Its key aspect is the replacement of the minimal model irreducible modules…

We systematically study how the integrality of the conformal characters shapes the space of fermionic rational conformal field theories in two dimensions. The integrality suggests that conformal characters on torus with a given choice of…
We study two-dimensional conformal field theories generated from a ``symplectic fermion'' - a free two-component fermion field of spin one - and construct the maximal local supersymmetric conformal field theory generated from it. This…

It is discussed how a limiting procedure of (super)conformal field theories may result in logarithmic (super)conformal field theories. The construction is illustrated by logarithmic limits of (unitary) minimal models in conformal field…
The Lie conformal algebra of loop Virasoro algebra, denoted by $\mathscr{CW}$, is introduced in this paper. Explicitly, $\mathscr{CW}$ is a Lie conformal algebra with $\mathbb{C}[\partial]$-basis $\{L_i\,|\,i\in\mathbb{C}\}$ and…
