We investigate the gauging of a $\mathbb{Z}_N$ symmetry in lattice conformal field theories (CFTs), also known as Narain CFTs. For prime $N$, we derive a spin selection rule for operators in a $\mathbb{Z}_N$ charge-twisted sector of a…
In this paper we analyze some classical operators in harmonic analysis associated to the multidimensional discrete Laplacian \[ \Delta_N f(\mathbf{n})=\sum_{i=1}^{N}(f(\mathbf{n}+\mathbf{e}_i)-2f(\mathbf{n})+f(\mathbf{n}-\mathbf{e}_i)),…
