We present sum-sides for principal characters of all standard (i.e., integrable and highest-weight) irreducible modules for the affine Lie algebra $A_2^{(2)}$. We use modifications of five known Bailey pairs; three of these are sufficient…
We present an extensive search for a general class of flipped $SU(5)$ models built within the free fermionic formulation of the heterotic string. We describe a set of algorithms which constitute the basis for a computer program capable of…
In this paper we derive two bosonic (alternating sign) formulas for branching functions for general affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra $\g$. Both formulas are given in terms of the Weyl group and string functions of $\g$.
We propose gauging matrix models of string theory to eliminate unwanted non-singlet states. To this end we perform a discretised light-cone quantisation of large N gauge theory in 1+1 dimensions, with scalar or fermionic matter fields…
A generic feature of string-derived models is the appearance of an anomalous Abelian U(1)_A symmetry which, among other properties, constrains the Yukawa couplings and distinguishes the three families from each other. In this paper, we…
String Unified Models based on the $k=1$ level of the Kac-Moody Algebra, predict the existence of ``exotic'' new states which carry fractional electric charges. We analyse the possibility of considering these ``exotics'' as preonic matter…
We study the path realization of Demazure crystals related to solvable lattice models in statistical mechanics. Various characters are represented in a unified way as the sums over one dimensional configurations which we call unrestricted,…
We investigate the general properties of lattice spin models with emerging fermionic excitations. We argue that fermions always come in pairs and their creation operator always has a string-like structure with the newly created particles…
We discuss the relation of the two types of sums in the Rogers-Schur-Ramanujan identities with the Bose-Fermi correspondence of massless quantum field theory in $1+1$ dimensions. One type, which generalizes to sums which appear in the…
In the four dimensional free fermionic formulation of the heterotic string, a semi-realistic $SU(4)\times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ model is proposed with three fermion generations in $(4,2,1)+(\bar 4,1,2)$ representations. The gauge symmetry…
This is the first of a series of papers studying combinatorial (with no ``subtractions'') bases and characters of standard modules for affine Lie algebras, as well as various subspaces and ``coset spaces'' of these modules. In part I we…
Level-restricted paths play an important role in crystal theory. They correspond to certain highest weight vectors of modules of quantum affine algebras. We show that the recently established bijection between Littlewood--Richardson…
We relate two apparently different bases in the representations of affine Lie algebras of type A: one arising from statistical mechanics, the other from gauge theory. We show that the two are governed by the same combinatorics and therefore…
This contribution reviews recent progress in constructing affine Lie algebras at arbitrary level in terms of vertex operators. The string model describes a completely compactified subcritical chiral bosonic string whose momentum lattice is…
In this note we explain, in terms of finite dimensional representations of Lie algebras $\mathfrak{sp}_{2\ell}\subset\mathfrak{sl}_{2\ell}$, a combinatorial coincidence of difference conditions in two constructions of combinatorial bases…
Hatayama et al. conjectured fermionic formulas associated with tensor products of U'_q(g)-crystals B^{r,s}. The crystals B^{r,s} correspond to the Kirillov--Reshetikhin modules which are certain finite dimensional U'_q(g)-modules. In this…
We obtain the fermionic formulas for the characters of (k, r)-admissible configurations in the case of r=2 and r=3. This combinatorial object appears as a label of a basis of certain subspace $W(\Lambda)$ of level-$k$ integrable highest…
We review a class of matrix models whose degrees of freedom are matrices with anticommuting elements. We discuss the properties of the adjoint fermion one-, two- and gauge invariant D-dimensional matrix models at large-N and compare them…
Functional equations, in the form of fusion hierarchies, are studied for the transfer matrices of the fused restricted $A_{n-1}^{(1)}$ lattice models of Jimbo, Miwa and Okado. Specifically, these equations are solved analytically for the…
The space spanned by the characters of twisted affine Lie algebras admit the action of certain congruence subgroups of $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$. By embedding the characters in the space spanned by theta functions, we study an…
