Fusion Rules for Extended Current Algebras

Abstract: The initial classification of fusion rules have shown that rational conformal field theory is very limited. In this paper we study the fusion rules of extended current algebras. Explicit formulas are given for the S matrix and the fusion rules, based on the full splitting of the fixed point fields. We find that in some cases sensible fusion rules are obtained, while in others this procedure leads to fractional fusion constants.

“…The SU (3) 1 positive energy representations obey Z 3 fusion rules, and from ασ-reciprocity we conclude that the marked vertices are given by Figure 10: D (6) (Clearly we have the freedom to define which is [α (1) 2 ] and which [α…”

“…The homomorphism property of α-induction also implies that V carries a representation of W which therefore decomposes into a direct sum over the characters γ Λ of the fusion algebra W which are labelled by admissible weights Λ as well. The representation matrix associated to the first fundamental weight Λ (1) can be interpreted as the adjacency matrix of a graph (which is in fact the fusion graph of α Λ (1) ), and its eigenvalues are the evaluation of the characters γ Λ in the decomposition of this representation of W . The weights Λ labelling the characters which in fact appear this way are called exponents as can be recognized as a generalization of the Coxeter exponents in the SU (2) case.…”
