We show that the Ginsparg-Wilson (GW) relation can play an important role to define chiral structures in {\it finite} noncommutative geometries. Employing GW relation, we can prove the index theorem and construct topological invariants even…

We prove that sufficiently many intertwining operators of type $F_4$ unitary affine VOAs satisfy polynomial energy bounds. This finishes the Wassermann type analysis of intertwining operators for all WZW-models.
In this paper, we study conformal points among the class of $\mathcal{E}$-models. The latter are $\sigma$-models formulated in terms of a current Poisson algebra, whose Lie-theoretic definition allows for a purely algebraic description of…
