A note on decoupling conditions for generic level $\hat{sl}(3)_k$ and fusion rules

We find the solution of the $\hat{sl}(3)_k$ singular vector decoupling equations on 3-point functions for the particular case when one of the fields is of weight $w_0\cdot kΛ_0$. The result is a function with non-trivial singularities in the flag variables, namely a linear combination of 2F1 hypergeometric functions. This calculation fills in a gap in [1] and confirms the $\hat{sl}(3)_k$ fusion rules determined there both for generic $κ\not \in \IQ$ and fractional levels. We have also analysed the fusion in $\hat{sl}(3)_k$ using algebraic methods generalising those of Feigin and Fuchs and again find agreement with [1]. In the process we clarify some details of previous treatments of the fusion of $\hat{sl}(2)_k$ fractional level admissible representations.

An Extension of the Character Ring of sl(3) and Its Quantisation

We construct a commutative ring with identity which extends the ring of characters of finite dimensional representations of sl(3). It is generated by characters with values in the group ring $Z[\tilde{W}]$ of the extended affine Weyl group of $\hat{sl}(3)_k$ at $k\not \in Q$. The `quantised' version at rational level $k+3=3/p$ realises the fusion rules of a WZW conformal field theory based on admissible representations of $\hat{sl}(3)_k$.

Fusion rules for admissible representations of affine algebras: the case of $A_2^{(1)}$

We derive the fusion rules for a basic series of admissible representations of $\hat{sl}(3)$ at fractional level $3/p-3$. The formulae admit an interpretation in terms of the affine Weyl group introduced by Kac and Wakimoto. It replaces the ordinary affine Weyl group in the analogous formula for the fusion rules multiplicities of integrable representations. Elements of the representation theory of a hidden finite dimensional graded algebra behind the admissible representations are briefly discussed.

$A_1^{(1)}$ Admissible Representations -- Fusion Transformations and Local Correlators

We reconsider the earlier found solutions of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equations describing correlators based on the admissible representations of $A_1^{(1)}$. Exploiting a symmetry of the KZ equations we show that the original infinite sums representing the 4-point chiral correlators can be effectively summed up. Using these simplified expressions with proper choices of the contours we determine the duality (braid and fusion) transformations and show that they are consistent with the fusion rules of Awata and Yamada. The requirement of locality leads to a 1-parameter family of monodromy (braid) invariants. These analogs of the ``diagonal'' 2-dimensional local 4-point functions in the minimal Virasoro theory contain in general non-diagonal terms. They correspond to pairs of fields of identical monodromy, having one and the same counterpart in the limit to the Virasoro minimal correlators.

Singular Vectors of ${\cal W}$ Algebras via DS Reduction of $A_2^(1)$

The BRST quantisation of the Drinfeld - Sokolov reduction applied to the case of $A^{(1)}_2\,$ is explored to construct in an unified and systematic way the general singular vectors in ${\cal W}_3$ and ${\cal W}_3^{(2)}$ Verma modules. The construction relies on the use of proper quantum analogues of the classical DS gauge fixing transformations. Furthermore the stability groups $\overline W^{(η)}\,$ of the highest weights of the ${\cal W}\,$ - Verma modules play an important role in the proof of the BRST equivalence of the Malikov-Feigin-Fuks singular vectors and the ${\cal W}$ algebra ones. The resulting singular vectors are essentially classified by the affine Weyl group $W\, $ modulo $\overline W^{(η)}\,$. This is a detailed presentation of the results announced in a recent paper of the authors (Phys. Lett. B318 (1993) 85).

Virasoro Singular Vectors via Quantum DS Reduction

The BRST quantisation of the Drinfeld - Sokolov reduction is exploited to recover all singular vectors of the Virasoro algebra Verma modules from the corresponding $A^{(1)}_1\,$ ones. The two types of singular vectors are shown to be identical modulo terms trivial in the $Q_{BRST}$ cohomology. The main tool is a quantum version of the DS gauge transformation.

Reduction of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov Equation - a Way of Producing Virasoro Algebra Singular Vectors

It is shown that the sl(2,C) KZ equation for (half-) integer isospins recovers, up to a gauge transformation, the matrix system for Virasoro algebra singular vectors of Bauer et al. In the case of Kac-Kazhdan spins the general (infinite matrix) KZ system is truncated due to the decoupling of the A^(1)_1 singular vectors. This suggests an algorithm converting Malikov-Feigin-Fuks singular vectors into Virasoro ones.

Solutions of the Knizhnik - Zamolodchikov Equation with Rational Isospins and the Reduction to the Minimal Models

In the spirit of the quantum Hamiltonian reduction we establish a relation between the chiral $n$-point functions, as well as the equations governing them, of the $A_1^{(1)}$ WZNW conformal theory and the corresponding Virasoro minimal models. The WZNW correlators are described as solutions of the Knizhnik - Zamolodchikov equations with rational levels and isospins. The technical tool exploited are certain relations in twisted cohomology. The results extend to arbitrary level $k+2 \neq 0$ and isospin values of the type $J=j-j'(k+2)$, $ \ 2j, 2j' \in Z\!\!\!Z_+$.
