On spectrum of ILW hierarchy in conformal field theory II: coset CFT's

We study integrable structure of the coset conformal field theory and define the system of Integrals of Motion which depends on external parameters. This system can be viewed as a quantization of the ILW type hierarchy. We propose a set of Bethe anzatz equations for its spectrum.

Coset conformal field theory and instanton counting on C^2/Z_p

We study conformal field theory with the symmetry algebra $\mathcal{A}(2,p)=\hat{\mathfrak{gl}}(n)_{2}/\hat{\mathfrak{gl}}(n-p)_2$. In order to support the conjecture that this algebra acts on the moduli space of instantons on $\mathbb{C}^{2}/\mathbb{Z}_{p}$, we calculate the characters of its representations and check their coincidence with the generating functions of the fixed points of the moduli space of instantons. We show that the algebra $\mathcal{A}(2,p)$ can be realized in two ways. The first realization is connected with the cross-product of $p$ Virasoro and $p$ Heisenberg algebras: $\mathcal{H}^{p}\times \textrm{Vir}^{p}$. The second realization is connected with: $\mathcal{H}^{p}\times \hat{\mathfrak{sl}}(p)_2\times (\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}(2)_p \times \hat{\mathfrak{sl}}(2)_{n-p}/\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}(2)_n)$. The equivalence of these two realizations provides the non-trivial identity for the characters of $\mathcal{A}(2,p)$. The moduli space of instantons on $\mathbb{C}^{2}/\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ admits two different compactifications. This leads to two different bases for the representations of $\mathcal{A}(2,p)$. We use this fact to explain the existence of two forms of the instanton pure partition functions.

Parafermionic Liouville field theory and instantons on ALE spaces

In this paper we study the correspondence between the $\hat{\textrm{su}}(n)_{k}\oplus \hat{\textrm{su}}(n)_{p}/\hat{\textrm{su}}(n)_{k+p}$ coset conformal field theories and $\mathcal{N}=2$ SU(n) gauge theories on $\mathbb{R}^{4}/\mathbb{Z}_{p}$. Namely we check the correspondence between the SU(2) Nekrasov partition function on $\mathbb{R}^{4}/\mathbb{Z}_{4}$ and the conformal blocks of the $S_{3}$ parafermion algebra (in $S$ and $D$ modules). We find that they are equal up to the U(1)-factor as it was in all cases of AGT-like relations. Studying the structure of the instanton partition function on $\mathbb{R}^4/\mathbb{Z}_p$ we also find some evidence that this correspondence with arbitrary $p$ takes place up to the U(1)-factor.
