A graded generalization of the Z_k parafermionic current osp(1|2)/U(1) coset conformal field theory. The structure of the parafermionic highest-weight modules is analyzed and the dimensions of the fields of the theory are determined. A free…
A new parafermionic algebra associated with the homogeneous space $A^{(2)}_2/U(1)$ and its corresponding $Z$-algebra have been recently proposed. In this paper, we give a free boson representation of the $A^{(2)}_2$ parafermion algebra in…
We present a new conformal algebra. It is Z2 x Z2 graded and generated by three N=1 superconformal algebras coupled to each other by nontrivial relations of parafermionic type. The representation theory and unitary models of the algebra are…
The four fermionic currents of the affine superalgebra $sl(2/1)$ at fractional level $k=1/u-1$, u positive integer, are shown to be realised in terms of a free scalar field, an $sl(2)$ doublet field and a primary field of the parafermionic…
In this paper we will prove a series of $q$-identities suggested by the realisation of certain conformal field theories by so-called `coupled free fermions'. We will consider $q$-series arising from coupled free fermions constructed by the…
Every conformal field theory has the symmetry of taking each field to its adjoint. We consider here the quotient (orbifold) conformal field theory obtained by twisting with respect to this symmetry. A general method for computing such…
The conformal field theory based on the $g/u(1)^d$ coset construction is treated as the WZNW theory for the affine Lie algebra $\hat g$ with the constrained $\hat u(1)^d$ subalgebra.Using a modification of the generalized canonical…
A new type of nonlocal currents (quasi-particles), which we call twisted parafermions, and its corresponding twisted $Z$-algebra are found. The system consists of one spin-1 bosonic field and six nonlocal fields of fractional spins.…
Conformal field theories based on $g/u(1)^d$ coset constructions where $g$ is a reductive algebra are studied.It is shown that the theories are equivalent to constrained WZNW models for $g.$ Generators of extended symmetry algebras and…
Some time ago, conformal data with affine fusion rules were found. Our purpose here is to realize some of these conformal data, using systems of free bosons and parafermions. The so constructed theories have an extended $W$ algebras which…
We introduce a novel parafermionic theory for which the conformal dimension of the basic parafermion is 3(1-1/k)/2, with k even. The structure constants and the central charges are obtained from mode-type associativity calculations. The…
The graded parafermion conformal field theory at level k is a close cousin of the much-studied Z_k parafermion model. Three character formulas for the graded parafermion theory are presented, one bosonic, one fermionic (both previously…
We describe the recently introduced method of Algebraic Bosonization of (1+1)-dimensional fermionic systems by discussing the specific case of the Calogero-Sutherland model. A comparison with the Bethe Ansatz results is also presented.
By considering the fermionic realization of $G/H$ coset models, we show that the partition function for the $U(1)/U(1)$ model defines a Topological Quantum Field Theory and coincides with that for a 2-dimensional Abelian BF system. In the…
A one-parameter generalized fermion algebra ${\cal B}_{\kappa}(1)$ is introduced. The Fock representation is studied. The associated coherent states are constructed and the polynomial representation, in the Bargmann sense, is derived. A…
Fermionic-type character formulae are presented for charged irreduciblemodules of the graded parafermionic conformal field theory associated to the coset $osp(1,2)_k/u(1)$. This is obtained by counting the weakly ordered `partitions'…
