On conformal field theories at fractional levels

For each lattice one can define a free boson theory propagating on the corresponding torus. We give an alternative definition where one employs any automorphism of the group $M^*/M$. This gives a wealth of conformal data, which we realize as some bosonic theory, in all the `regular' cases. We discuss the generalization to affine theories. As a byproduct, we compute the gauss sum for any lattice and any diagonal automorphism.

Local State Probabilities of Solvable Lattice Models: Relatives of $A_{n}^{(1)}$ Family

We present the results for the local state probabilities (LSP) of the solvable lattice models, constructed around rational conformal field theory given by WZW model on $SO(3)_{4 R}=SU(2)_{4 R} / Z_{2}$ together with primary field $ϕ_{1}$(symmetric tensor of degree 2). Some conjectures for the LSP for some higher rank relatives of $A_{n}^{(1)}$ face models are also presented.

New Solvable Lattice Models from Conformal Field Theory

We build the trigonometric solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation that can not be obtained from quantum groups in any direct way. The solution is obtained using the construction suggested recently from the rational conformal field theory corresponding to the WZW model on $SO(3)_{4 R}=SU(2)_{4 R} / Z_{2}$. We also discuss the full elliptic solution to the Yang-Baxter equation whose critical limit corresponds to the trigonometric solution found below.

Fusion Rules for Extended Current Algebras

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 extend ed 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 s ome cases sensible fusion rules are obtained, while in others this procedure lea ds to fractional fusion constants.

Naturally Light Leptoquarks

Light first generation leptoquarks are being hunted for in HERA and at FNAL and there are various proposals for further searches in future machines. Such leptoquarks are however problematic from a theoretical point of view: Low energy precision measurements imply strong constraints on the couplings of the leptoquarks, and up till now the fulfilment of these constraints seemed extremely unnatural. Here we show that horizontal symmetries, which are very conventional and widely used in the literature for completely different purposes, can suppress the unwanted couplings. Therefore light first generation leptoquarks can be natural.
