ESDI: Conformal dimensions of non-diagonal fields
We consider the non-diagonal primary fields with integer conformal spins, in a CFT that has a degenerate field . We assume .

Liouville theory and non-diagonal minimal models
Liouville theory
See Section 2.2.2 of Ref.[1]
D-series minimal models
See Section 2.3.1 of Ref.[1]
Course questions
- From OPEs in generalized minimal models, deduce the OPEs in Liouville theory with . In particular, show that the measure of integration over momentums is the uniform measure .
- What is the intersection of the spectrums of the A-series and D-series minimal models at the same central charge? Is this the spectrum of a consistent CFT?
- Show that the spectrum of the D-series minimal model DMM is a subset of the spectrum of the 3-state Potts CFT. Explain why the diagonal primary field appears in the non-diagonal sector of DMM. Admitting that transforms in the standard representation of the symmetric group , explain why it appears twice in DMM.
