We compare the dimensions of the irreducible Sp(2g,K)-modules over a field K of characteristic p constructed by Gow with the dimensions of the irreducible Sp(2g,F_p)-modules that appear in the first approximation to representations of…

Building upon the Jones-Wassermann program of studying Conformal Field Theory using operator algebraic tools, and the work of A. Wassermann on the loop group of LSU(n) (Invent. Math. 133 (1998), 467-538), we give a solution to the problem…

We study the weight modules over affine Kac-Moody algebras from the view point of vertex algebras, and determine the abelian category of weight modules for the simple affine vertex algebra $L_k(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ at any non-integral…

We investigate the representations of a class of conformal Galilei algebras in one spatial dimension with central extension. This is done by explicitly constructing all singular vectors within the Verma modules, proving their completeness…

We give explicit upper bounds for the coefficients of arbitrary weight $k$, level 2 cusp forms, making Deligne's well-known $O(n^{\frac{k-1}{2}+\epsilon})$ bound precise. We also derive asymptotic formulas and explicit upper bounds for the…

The focus of this thesis is on (1) the role of Ka\v c-Moody (KM) algebras in string theory and the development of techniques for systematically building string theory models based on higher level ($K\geq 2$) KM algebras and (2) fractional…

It is proved that the parafermion vertex operator algebra associated to the irreducible highest weight module for the affine Kac-Moody algebra A_1^{(1)} of level k coincides with a certain W-algebra. In particular, a set of generators for…

We give a general criterion for conformal embeddings of vertex operator algebras associated to affine Lie algebras at arbitrary levels. Using that criterion, we construct new conformal embeddings at admissible rational and negative integer…

Haisheng Li showed that given a module (W,Y_W(\cdot,x)) for a vertex algebra (V,Y(\cdot,x)), one can obtain a new V-module W^{\Delta} = (W,Y_W(\Delta(x)\cdot,x)) if \Delta(x) satisfies certain natural conditions. Li presented a collection…

We consider two types of quotients of the integrable modules of $\hat{sl}_2$. These spaces of coinvariants have dimensions described in terms of the Verlinde algebra of level-$k$. We describe monomial bases for the spaces of coinvariants,…

The congruence subgroup property is established for the modular representations associated to any modular tensor category. This result is used to prove that the kernel of the representation of the modular group on the conformal blocks of…

We give a derivation of the Verlinde formula for the $G_{k}$ WZW model from Chern-Simons theory, without taking recourse to CFT, by calculating explicitly the partition function $Z_{\Sigma\times S^{1}}$ of $\Sigma\times S^{1}$ with an…

We study the structure and representation theory of the principal W-algebra $\mathsf{W}^{\mathsf{k}}_{\mathrm{pr}}$ of $\mathsf{V}^{\mathsf{k}}(\mathfrak{psl}_{2|2})$. The defining operator product expansions are computed, as is the Zhu…

The decomposition matrix of a finite group in prime characteristic p records the multiplicities of its p-modular irreducible representations as composition factors of the reductions modulo p of its irreducible representations in…

One may construct, for any function on the integers, an irreducible module of level zero for affine sl(2), using the values of the function as structure constants. The modules constructed using exponential-polynomial functions realise the…

Certain integrable models are described by pairs (X,Y) of ADET Dynkin diagrams. At high energy these models are expected to have a conformally invariant limit. The S-matrix of the model determines algebraic equations, whose solutions are…

We construct the fusion ring of a quasi-rational $\hat{sl}(4)_k$ WZNW theory at generic level $k \not\in Q$. It is generated by commutative elements in the group ring $Z[\tilde{W}]$ of the affine Weyl group $\tilde{W}$ which extend…
