A method of computing fusion coefficients for Lie algebras of type $A_{n-1}$ on level $k$ was recently developed by A. Feingold and M. Weiner \cite{FW} using orbits of $\mathbb{Z}_n^k$ under the permutation action of $S_k$ on $k$-tuples.…

We develop a new method for obtaining branching rules for affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras at negative integer levels. This method uses fusion rules for vertex operator algebras of affine type. We prove that an infinite family of ordinary…

We give a geometric description of the fusion rules of the affine Lie algebra su(2)_k at a positive integer level k in terms of the k-th power of the basic gerbe over the Lie group SU(2). The gerbe can be trivialised over conjugacy classes…

In this note we describe a general elementary procedure to attach a fusion ring to any Kac-Moody algebra of affine type. In the case of untwisted affine algebras, they are usual fusion rings in the literature. In the case of twisted affine…

We consider the fusion algebras arising in e.g. Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theories, affine Kac-Moody algebras at positive integer level, and quantum groups at roots of unity. Using properties of the modular matrix $S$, we find…

The fusion rules for the $(p,q)$-minimal model representations of the Virasoro algebra are shown to come from the group $G = \boZ_2^{p+q-5}$ in the following manner. There is a partition $G = P_1 \cup ...\cup P_N$ into disjoint subsets and…

Let $V$ be a vertex operator algebra, $T\in \mathbb{N}$ and $(M^k, Y_{M^k})$ for $k=1, 2, 3$ be a $g_k$-twisted module, where $g_k$ are commuting automorphisms of $V$ such that $g_k^T=1$ for $k=1, 2, 3$ and $g_3=g_1g_2$. Suppose $I(\cdot,…

We classify the automorphisms of the (chiral) level-k affine SU(3) fusion rules, for any value of k, by looking for all permutations that commute with the modular matrices S and T. This can be done by using the arithmetic of the cyclotomic…

We derive the fusion rules for a basic series of admissible representations of $\hat{sl}(3)$ at fractional level $3/p-3$. The formulae admit an interpretation in terms of the affine Weyl group introduced by Kac and Wakimoto. It replaces the…
