We explore new connections between the fields and local observables in two dimensional chiral conformal field theory. We show that in a broad class of examples, the von Neumann algebras of local observables (a conformal net) can be obtained…

We consider sl(2) minimal conformal field theories and the dual parafermion models. Guided by results for the critical A_L Restricted Solid-on-Solid (RSOS) models and its Virasoro modules expressed in terms of paths, we propose a general…

The Virasoro algebra with c=1 has a continuum of superselection sectors characterized by the ground state energy h. Only a discrete subset of sectors arises by restriction of representations of the SU(2) current algebra at level k=1. The…

The hallmark of two-dimensional chiral topological phases is the existence of anomalous gapless modes at the spatial boundary. Yet, the manifestation of this edge anomaly within the bulk ground-state wavefunction itself remains only…

We study a supersymmetric theory twisted on a K\"ahler four manifold $M=\Sigma_1 \times \Sigma_2 ,$ where $\Sigma_{1,2}$ are 2D Riemann surfaces. We demonstrate that it possesses a "left-moving" conformal stress tensor on $\Sigma_1$…

The NHEG algebra is an extension of Virasoro introduced in [arXiv:1503.07861]; it describes the symplectic symmetries of $(n+4)$-dimensional Near Horizon Extremal Geometries with $SL(2,R)\times U(1)^{n+1}$ isometry. In this work we…

A sort of calculus is developed to find the chiral algebras of N=2 superconformal interacting bosonic models. Many examples are discussed. It is shown that the algebras share a common structure, which we call almost Landau Ginzburg. For one…

We define an elliptic deformation of the Virasoro algebra. We argue that the $\mathbb{R}^4\times \mathbb{T}^2$ Nekrasov partition function reproduces the chiral blocks of this algebra. We support this proposal by showing that at special…

We introduce a novel representation of Virasoro algebra in open string field theory. Elements of the algebra are vector fields on the $K$-space, where $K$ is the string field that generates a world sheet strip in sliver frame. The…

We develop a representation-theoretic framework for the relation between asymptotic symmetry evolution and monodromy in critical topologically massive gravity at the chiral point $\mu \ell=1$. We show that continuous evolution generated by…

We use holographic methods to study the entanglement entropy for excited states in a two dimensional conformal field theory. The entangling area is a single interval and the excitations are produced by in and out vertex operators with given…

We reexamine two-dimensional Lorentzian conformal field theory using the formalism previously developed in a study of sine-square deformation of Euclidean conformal field theory. We construct three types of Virasoro algebra. One of them…

Neural Network Field Theories (NN-FTs) typically describe Generalized Free Fields that lack a local stress-energy tensor in two dimensions, obstructing the realization of Virasoro symmetry. We present the ``Log-Kernel'' (LK) architecture,…
