Linear independence for $C_\ell^{(1)}$ by using $C_{2\ell}^{(1)}$

Abstract

In this note we prove linear independence of the combinatorial spanning set for standard $C_\ell^{(1)}$-module $L(k\Lambda_0)$ by establishing a connection with the combinatorial basis of Feigin-Stoyanovsky's type subspace $W(k\Lambda_0)$ of $C_{2\ell}^{(1)}$-module $L(k\Lambda_0)$. It should be noted that the proof of linear independence for the basis of $W(k\Lambda_0)$ is obtained by using simple currents and intertwining operators in the vertex operator algebra $L(k\Lambda_0)$.
