Résumé |
The magic triangle due to Cvitanovic and Deligne-Gross is an extension of the Freudenthal-Tits magic square of semisimple Lie algebras. In a recent work with Kimyeong Lee, we identify all 2d rational conformal field theories associated to the magic triangle. These include various Wess-Zumino-Witten models, Virasoro minimal models, compact bosons and their non-diagonal modular invariants. At level one, we find a two-parameter family of modular linear differential equation of fourth order whose solutions produce the affine characters of all elements in the magic triangle. We find a universal coset relation for the whole triangle which generalizes the dual pairs with respect to (E8)_1 in the Cvitanovic-Deligne exceptional series. At level two, we find a special row of the triangle - the subexceptional series has novel N=1 supersymmetry, and the super characters satisfy a one-parameter family of fermionic modular linear differential equations. Moreover, we find many new coset constructions involving WZW models at higher levels. |
