On New Conformal Field Theories with Affine Fusion Rules

Some time ago, conformal data with affine fusion rules were found. Our purpose here is to realize some of these conformal data, using systems of free bosons and parafermions. The so constructed theories have an extended $W$ algebras which are close analogues of affine algebras. Exact character formulae is given, and the realizations are shown to be full fledged unitary conformal field theories.Comment: Minor correction in an example and some typo

Galois groups in rational conformal field theory II. The discriminant

We express the discriminant of the polynomial relations of the fusion ring, in any conformal field theory, as the product of the rows of the modular matrix to the power -2. The discriminant is shown to be an integer, always, which is a product of primes which divide the level. Detailed formulas for the discriminant are given for all WZW conformal field theories.Comment: 19 pages, one table. Minor typos correcte

Generalized Fusion Potentials

Recently, DiFrancesco and Zuber have characterized the RCFTs which have a description in terms of a fusion potential in one variable, and proposed a generalized potential to describe other theories. In this note we give a simple criterion to determine when such a generalized description is possible. We also determine which RCFTs can be described by a fusion potential in more than one variable, finding that in fact all RCFTs can be described in such a way, as conjectured by Gepner.Comment: TAUP-2029-93, 16 pages of plain Tex.

Mirror Symmetry as a Gauge Symmetry

It is shown that in string theory mirror duality is a gauge symmetry (a Weyl transformation) in the moduli space of $N=2$ backgrounds on group manifolds, and we conjecture on the possible generalization to other backgrounds, such as Calabi-Yau manifolds.Comment: 11 page

Generalized Rogers Ramanujan Identities from AGT Correspondence

AGT correspondence and its generalizations attracted a great deal of attention recently. In particular it was suggested that $U(r)$ instantons on $R^4/Z_p$ describe the conformal blocks of the coset ${\cal A}(r,p)=U(1)\times sl(p)_r\times {sl(r)_p\times sl(r)_n\over sl(r)_{n+p}}$, where $n$ is a parameter. Our purpose here is to describe Generalized Rogers Ramanujan (GRR) identities for these cosets, which expresses the characters as certain $q$ series. We propose that such identities exist for the coset ${\cal A}(r,p)$ for all positive integers $n$ and all $r$ and $p$. We treat here the case of $n=1$ and $r=2$, finding GRR identities for all the characters.Comment: 11 page

Lattice models and generalized Rogers Ramanujan identities

We revisit the solvable lattice models described by Andrews Baxter and Forrester and their generalizations. The expressions for the local state probabilities were shown to be related to characters of the minimal models. We recompute these local state probabilities by a different method. This yields generalized Rogers Ramanujan identities, some of which recently conjectured by Kedem et al. Our method provides a proof for some cases, as well as generating new such identities
