We show that the conformal characters of various rational models of W-algebras can be already uniquely determined if one merely knows the central charge and the conformal dimensions. As a side result we develop several tools for studying…

We describe several infinite series of rational conformal field theories whose conformal characters are modular units, i.e. which are modular functions having no zeros or poles in the upper complex half plane, and which thus possess simple…

We discuss some properties of the tower of mapping class group representations associated to a Rational Conformal Field Theory. In particular, after reviewing the elementary properties of the modular representation, we discuss the Galois…

We describe the construction of vector valued modular forms transforming under a given congruence representation of the modular group SL$(\bold Z)$ in terms of theta series. We apply this general setup to obtain closed and easily computable…

Explicit formulae describing the genus one characters and modular transformation properties of permutation orbifolds of arbitrary Rational Conformal Field Theories are presented, and their relation to the theory of covering surfaces is…

We describe the construction of vector valued modular forms transforming under a given congruence representation of the modular group SL(2,Z) in terms of theta series. We apply this general setup to obtain closed and easily computable…

Rational conformal field theories produce a tower of finite-dimensional representations of surface mapping class groups, acting on the conformal blocks of the theory. We review this formalism. We show that many recent mathematical…

A discussion of character formulae for positive energy unitary irreducible representations of the the conformal group is given, employing Verma modules and Weyl group reflections. Product formulae for various conformal group representations…

This book describes some computational methods to deal with modular characters of finite groups. It is the theoretical background of the MOC system of the same authors. This system was, and is still used, to compute the modular character…

We derive explicit expressions for the conformal blocks of the Ising conformal field theory, for the correlators of an arbitrary number of primary fields. These results are obtained from the bosonized description of the Ising model.…

We investigate the question which Q-valued characters and characters of Q-representations of finite groups are Z-linear combinations of permutation characters. This question is known to reduce to that for quasi-elementary groups, and we…

These notes are our contribution to the Proceedings of the ICM 2026. We discuss some results we have obtained (in part jointly with coauthors) regarding the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups over algebraically closed…

We define extended SL(2,R)/U(1) characters which include a sum over winding sectors. By embedding these characters into similarly extended characters of N=2 algebras, we show that they have nice modular transformation properties. We…

Certain integrable models are described by pairs (X,Y) of ADET Dynkin diagrams. At high energy these models are expected to have a conformally invariant limit. The S-matrix of the model determines algebraic equations, whose solutions are…

We introduce the notion of (nondegenerate) strongly-modular fusion algebras. Here strongly-modular means that the fusion algebra is induced via Verlinde's formula by a representation of the modular group whose kernel contains a congruence…

This article aims to review a selection of central topics and examples in logarithmic conformal field theory. It begins with a pure Virasoro example, critical percolation, then continues with a detailed exposition of symplectic fermions,…

Studies of modular linear differential equations (MLDE) for the classification of rational CFT characters have been limited to the case where the coefficient functions (in monic form) have no poles, or poles at special points of moduli…

We extend the definitions of characters and partition functions to the case of conformal field theories which contain operators with logarithmic correlation functions. As an example we consider the theories with central charge c = c(p,1) =…

We systematically study how the integrality of the conformal characters shapes the space of fermionic rational conformal field theories in two dimensions. The integrality suggests that conformal characters on torus with a given choice of…

We solve the Kac-Moody branching equation to obtain explicit formulae for the characters of coset conformal field theories and then apply these to specific examples to determine the integer shift of the conformal weights of primary fields.…
