We present new examples of maverick coset conformal field theories. They are closely related to conformal embeddings and exceptional modular invariants.
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.…
The coset construction is the most important tool to construct rational conformal field theories with known chiral data. For some cosets at small level, so-called maverick cosets, the familiar analysis using selection and identification…
We study the nonunitary diagonal cosets constructed from admissible representations of Kac-Moody algebras at fractional level, with an emphasis on the question of field identification. Generic classes of field identifications are obtained…
The ADE classification scheme is encountered in many areas of mathematics, most notably in the study of Lie algebras. Here such a scheme is shown to describe families of two-dimensional conformal field theories.
Conformal field theories based on $g/u(1)^d$ coset constructions where $g$ is a reductive algebra are studied.It is shown that the theories are equivalent to constrained WZNW models for $g.$ Generators of extended symmetry algebras and…
We have shown that a particular class of non-local free field theory has conformal symmetry in arbitrary dimensions. Using the local field theory counterpart of this class, we have found the Noether currents and Ward identities of the…
We explore higher-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) in the presence of a conformal defect that itself hosts another sub-dimensional defect. We refer to this new kind of conformal defect as the composite defect. We elaborate on the…
The principal admissible representations of affine Kac-Moody algebras are studied, with a view to their use in conformal field theory. We discuss the generation of the set of principal admissible highest weights, concentrating mainly on…
The reductions of conformal field theories which lead to generalized abelian cosets are studied. Primary fields and correlation functions of arbitrary abelian coset conformal field theory are explicitly expressed in terms of those of the…
Conformal fields are a recently discovered class of representations of the algebra of vector fields in $N$ dimensions. Invariant first-order differential operators (exterior derivatives) for conformal fields are constructed.
We study the compatibility between the conformal symmetry together with the unitarity and the continuous higher-form symmetries. We show that the d-dimensional unitary conformal field theories are not consistent with continuous p-form…
Pseudo conformal field theories are theories with the same fusion rules, but with different modular matrix as some conventional field theory. One of the authors defined these and conjectured that, for bosonic systems, they can all be…
We study the large-charge bootstrap for conformal field theories with a U(1) symmetry extending the analysis of scalar probes to include conserved currents. We formulate the bootstrap equations and analyze their solutions assuming the…
In this paper a class of conformal field theories with nonabelian and discrete group of symmetry is investigated. These theories are realized in terms of free scalar fields starting from the simple $b-c$ systems and scalar fields on…
We study the properties of 2+1d conformal field theories (CFTs) in a background magnetic field. Using generalized particle-vortex duality, we argue that in many cases of interest the theory becomes gapped, which allows us to make a number…
Conformal field theories have been extremely useful in our quest to understand physical phenomena in many different branches of physics, starting from condensed matter all the way up to high energy. Here we discuss applications of…
We consider both unitary and nonunitary A-D-E minimal models on the cylinder with topological defects along the non-contractible cycle of the cylinder. We define the coset graph $A \otimes G/\mathbb{Z}_2$ and argue that it encodes not only…
We propose the existence of a non-supersymmetric conformal field theory softly broken at the TeV scale as a new mechanism for solving the hierarchy problem. We find the imposition of conformal invariance to be very restrictive with many…
We present part of our investigations on two dimensional N=1 and N=2 superconformal field theories. As a direct generalization we consider the SU(2) coset models, in particular their renormalization group properties. A search and possible…
