Group Theoretic Analysis of Conformal Invariant Field Theories

(Received March 3, 1986)

Abstract:

We discuss various issues associated with field theoretic realization of conformal symmetry in 2 dimensions. We present a method of constructing primary fields for a class of conformal algebras which are based upon level-2 representations of current algebra. We also discuss realizations of twisted current algebra.
