Four-Point Functions in Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories

The generic structure of 4-point functions of fields residing in indecomposable representations of arbitrary rank is given. The used algorithm is described and we present all results for Jordan-rank $r=2$ and $r=3$ where we make use of permutation symmetry and use a graphical representation for the results. A number of remaining degrees of freedom which can show up in the correlator are discussed in detail. Finally we present the results for two-logarithmic fields for arbitrary Jordan-rank.

A Note on Four-Point Functions in Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory

The generic structure of 4-point functions of fields residing in indecomposable representations of arbitrary rank is given. The presented algorithm is illustrated with some non-trivial examples and permutation symmetries are exploited to reduce the number of free structure-functions, which cannot be fixed by global conformal invariance alone.

Operator Product Expansion and Zero Mode Structure in Logarithmic CFT

The generic structure of 1-, 2- and 3-point functions of fields residing in indecomposable representations of arbitrary rank are given. These in turn determine the structure of the operator product expansion in logarithmic conformal field theory. The crucial role of zero modes is discussed in some detail.

Ghost Systems Revisited: Modified Virasoro Generators and Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories

We study the possibility of extending ghost systems with higher spin to a logarithmic conformal field theory. In particular we are interested in c=-26 which turns out to behave very differently to the already known c=-2 case. The energy momentum tensor cannot be built anymore by a combination of derivatives of generalized symplectic fermion fields. Moreover, the logarithmically extended theory is only consistent when considered on nontrivial Riemann surfaces. This results in a LCFT with some unexpected properties. For instance the Virasoro mode L_0 is diagonal and for certain values of the deformation parameters even the whole global conformal group is non-logarithmic.
