We study combinatorial aspects of q-weighted, length-L Forrester-Baxter paths, P^{p, p'}_{a, b, c}(L), where p, p', a, b, c \in Z_{+}, 0 < p < p', 0 < a, b, c < p', c = b \pm 1, L+a-b \equiv 0 (mod 2), and p and p' are co-prime. We obtain a…

Fermionic expressions for all minimal model Virasoro characters $\chi^{p, p'}_{r, s}$ are stated and proved. Each such expression is a sum of terms of fundamental fermionic form type. In most cases, all these terms are written down using…

Using a summation formula due to Burge, and a combinatorial identity between partition pairs, we obtain an infinite tree of q-polynomial identities for the Virasoro characters \chi^{p, p'}_{r, s}, dependent on two finite size parameters M…

We further develop the finite length path generating transforms introduced previously, and use them to obtain constant sign polynomial expressions that reduce, in the limit of infinite path lengths, to parafermion and ABF Virasoro…

We present and prove Rogers-Schur-Ramanujan (Bose/Fermi) type identities for the Virasoro characters of the minimal model $M(p,p').$ The proof uses the continued fraction decomposition of $p'/p$ introduced by Takahashi and Suzuki for the…

We compute the one-dimensional configuration sums of the ABF model using the fermionic technique introduced in part I of this paper. Combined with the results of Andrews, Baxter and Forrester, we find proof of polynomial identities for…

We present fermionic sum representations of the characters $\chi^{(p,p')}_{r,s}$ of the minimal $M(p,p')$ models for all relatively prime integers $p'>p$ for some allowed values of $r$ and $s$. Our starting point is binomial (q-binomial)…

We obtain a bijection between certain lattice paths and partitions. This implies a proof of polynomial identities conjectured by Melzer. In a limit, these identities reduce to Rogers--Ramanujan-type identities for the…

Using $q$-trinomial coefficients of Andrews and Baxter along with the technique of telescopic expansions, we propose and prove a complete set of polynomial identities of Rogers-Ramanujan type for M(p, p+1) models of conformal field theory…

We first briefly review the role of lattice paths in the derivation of fermionic expressions for the M(p,p') minimal model characters of the Virasoro Lie algebra. We then focus on the recently introduced half-lattice paths for the…

For p \in {3, 4} and all p' > p, with p' coprime to p, we obtain fermionic expressions for the combination \chi^{p, p'}_{1, s} + q^{\Delta} \chi^{p, p'}_{p-1,s} of Virasoro (W_2) characters for various values of s, and particular choices of…

We present a ``natural finitization'' of the fermionic q-series (certain generalizations of the Rogers-Ramanujan sums) which were recently conjectured to be equal to Virasoro characters of the unitary minimal conformal field theory (CFT)…

The countably infinite number of Virasoro representations of the logarithmic minimal model LM(p,p') can be reorganized into a finite number of W-representations with respect to the extended Virasoro algebra symmetry W. Using a lattice…

Let \{M_{r,s}\}_{0< r < p, 0< s < p'} be the irreducible Virasoro modules in the $(p,p')$-minimal series. In our previous paper, we have constructed a monomial basis of \oplus_{r=1}^{p-1}M_{r,s} in the case of $1<p'/p<2$. By `monomials' we…

We derive new fermionic expressions for the characters of the Virasoro minimal models $M(k,2k\pm1)$ by analysing the recently introduced half-lattice paths. These fermionic expressions display a quasiparticle formulation characteristic of…

The states in the irreducible modules of the minimal models can be represented by infinite lattice paths arising from consideration of the corresponding RSOS statistical models. For the M(p,2p+1) models, a completely different path…

We introduce a new representation of the paths of the Forrester-Baxter RSOS models which represents the states of the irreducible modules of the minimal models M(p',p). This representation is obtained by transforming the RSOS paths, for the…

Tartaglia and Pearce have argued that the nonunitary $n\times n$ fused Forrester-Baxter $\mbox{RSOS}(m,m')$ models are described, in the continuum scaling limit, by the minimal models ${\cal M}(M,M',n)$ constructed as the higher-level…

Product forms of characters of Virasoro minimal models are obtained which factorize into $(2,\odd)\times(3,\even)$ characters. These are related by generalized Rogers-Ramanujan identities to sum forms allowing for a quasiparticle…

We investigate linear combinations of characters for minimal Virasoro models which are representable as a products of several basic blocks. Our analysis is based on consideration of asymptotic behaviour of the characters in the…
