We propose a multi-scale extension of conformal prediction, an approach that constructs prediction sets with finite-sample coverage guarantees under minimal statistical assumptions. Classic conformal prediction relies on a single notion of…

In these lectures, we study and compare two different formulations of $SU(2)$, level $k=1$, Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theory. The first, conventional, formulation employs the affine symmetry of the model; in this approach…

Using a nested coset construction a collection of D-branes that appear to generate all the K-theory charges of string theory on SU(n) are constructed and their charges are determined.

A general method of minimization using correlation coefficients and order statistics is evaluated relative to least squares procedures in the estimation of parameters for normal data in simple linear regression.

We discuss the $N=2$ super $W$ algebras from the hamiltonian reduction of affine Lie superalgebras $A(n|n-1)^{(1)}$ and $A(n|n)^{(1)}$. From the quantum hamiltonian reduction of $A(n|n-1)^{(1)}$ we get the free field realization of $N=2$…

We give a general construction of correlation functions in rational conformal field theory on a possibly non-orientable surface with boundary in terms of 3-dimensional topological quantum field theory. The construction applies to any…

The generalized Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations of irrational conformal field theory provide a uniform description of rational and irrational conformal field theory. Starting from the known high-level solution of these equations, we first…

We present new examples of maverick coset conformal field theories. They are closely related to conformal embeddings and exceptional modular invariants.

We provide a new class of exactly solvable superconformal field theories that corresponds to type II compactification on manifolds with exceptional holonomies. We combine N=1 Liouville field and N=1 coset models and construct modular…

Following our previous work on fractional spin symmetries (FSS) \cite{6, 7}, we consider here the construction of field theoretical models that are invariant under the $D=2(1/3,1/3)$ supersymmetric algebra.

We discuss non-compact WZW sigma models, especially the ones with symmetric space $H^{\bf C}/H$ as the target, for $H$ a compact Lie group. They offer examples of non-rational conformal field theories. We remind their relation to the…

The graded parafermion conformal field theory at level k is a close cousin of the much-studied Z_k parafermion model. Three character formulas for the graded parafermion theory are presented, one bosonic, one fermionic (both previously…

In this paper we give an algorithm to determine, for any given suborder closed class of series-parallel posets, a structure theorem for the class. We refer to these structure theorems as structural descriptions.

We build a supersymmetric model with $SU(2)_{L}\otimes SU(2)_{R}\otimes U(1)_{(B-L)}$ electroweak gauge symmetry, where $SU(2)_{L}$ is the left-handed currents while $SU(2)_{R}$ is the right-handed currents and $B$ and $L$ are the usual…

In this short note we give and discuss a general multilinear expression of the structure function of an arbitrary semicoherent system in terms of its minimal path and cut sets. We also examine the link between the number of minimal path and…

We study two-dimensional WZW models with target space a nonreductive Lie group. Such models exist whenever the Lie group possesses a bi-invariant metric. We show that such WZW models provide a lagrangian description of the nonreductive…

Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models are among the most basic and most studied Conformal Field Theories (CFT). They have had a huge influence not only in physics but also in mathematics, in representation theory and geometry. However their…

We use the process of quantum hamiltonian reduction of SU(2)_k, at rational level k, to study explicitly the correlators of the h_{1,s} fields in the c_{p,q} models. We find from direct calculation of the correlators that we have the…

It was recently suggested that the su(N)_k+su(N)_p/su(N)_{k+p} coset conformal field theories should be related to N=2 SU(N) gauge theories on R^4/Z_p. In this paper we study various aspects of this proposal. We perform explicit checks of…

A general two dimensional fractional supersymmetric conformal field theory is investigated. The structure of the symmetries of the theory is studied. Then, applying the generators of the closed subalgebra generated by $(L_{-1}, L_{0},…
