In this paper, we give a Verlinde formula for computing the ranks of the bundles of twisted conformal blocks associated with a simple Lie algebra equipped with an action of a finite group $\Gamma$ and a positive integral level $\ell$ under…

Given a topological modular functor $\mathcal{V}$ in the sense of Walker \cite{Walker}, we construct vector bundles over $\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$, whose Chern classes define semi-simple cohomological field theories. This construction…

We discover new analytic properties of classical partial and false theta functions and their potential applications to representation theory of W-algebras and vertex algebras in general. More precisely, motivated by clues from conformal…

The boundary conditions of a non-trivial string background are classified. To this end we need traces on various spaces of conformal blocks, for which generalizations of the Verlinde formula are presented.

We identify the maximal chiral algebra of conformal cyclic orbifolds. In terms of this extended algebra, the orbifold is a rational and diagonal conformal field theory, provided the mother theory itself is also rational and diagonal. The…

The infinite series of logarithmic minimal models LM(1,p) is considered in the W-extended picture where they are denoted by WLM(1,p). As in the rational models, the fusion algebra of WLM(1,p) is described by a simple graph fusion algebra.…

The two pillars of rational conformal field theory and rational vertex operator algebras are modularity of characters on the one hand and its interpretation of modules as objects in a modular tensor category on the other one. Overarching…

Riemann surface carries a natural line bundle, the determinant bundle. The space of sections of this line bundle (or its multiples) constitutes a natural non-abelian generalization of the spaces of theta functions on the Jacobian. There has…

Two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) can be defined through its correlation functions. These must satisfy certain consistency conditions which arise from the cutting of world sheets along circles or intervals. The construction of a…

This is a brief review of several algebraic constructions related to generalized fermionic spectra, of the type which appear in integrable quantum spin chains and integrable quantum field theories. We discuss the connection between…

Conformal sigma models and WZW models on coset superspaces provide important examples of logarithmic conformal field theories. They possess many applications to problems in string and condensed matter theory. We review recent results and…

We prove Zuber's conjecture establishing connections of the fusion rules of the $su(N)_k$ WZW model of conformal field theory and the intersection form on vanishing cycles of the associated fusion potential.

We review and extend evidence for the validity of a generalized Verlinde formula in particular non-rational conformal field theories. We identify a subset of representations of the chiral algebra in non-rational conformal field theories…

A modular category is a braided category with some additional algebraic features. The interest of this concept is that it provides a Topological Quantum Field Theory in dimension 3. The Verlinde formulas associated with a modular category…

We investigate a one-point restriction of conformal blocks on $(\mathbb{P}^1,\infty,1,0)$ associated with modules over a vertex operator algebra. By restricting the module attached to the point $\infty$ to its bottom degree, we obtain a new…

We prove that the space of intertwining operators associated with certain admissible modules over vertex operator algebras is isomorphic to a quotient of the vector space of conformal blocks on a three-pointed rational curve defined by the…

Work of Buczynska, Wisniewski, Sturmfels and Xu, and the second author has linked the group-based phylogenetic statistical model associated with the group Z/2Z with the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model of conformal field theory associated to…

We prove a generalization of the Verlinde formula to fermionic rational conformal field theories. The fusion coefficients of the fermionic theory are equal to sums of fusion coefficients of its bosonic projection. In particular, fusion…

Two-dimensional conformal field theory is a powerful tool to understand the geometry of surfaces. Here, we study Liouville conformal field theory in the classical (large central charge) limit, where it encodes the geometry of the moduli…

Let G be a complex semi-simple group, X a Riemann surface, M_G the moduli space of principal G-bundles on X. When G is simply-connected, there exists a closed formula expressing the dimension of the space H^0(M_G,L) for any line bundle L on…
