Algebraic construction of partition functions for c<1 minimal conformal field theories

DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.528054· OSTI ID:6722092
Partition functions with periodic and twisted boundary conditions are constructed for c<1 minimal conformal field theories using the modular transformation properties of the characters of the Virasoro algebra alone. The construction helps to clarify the connection between twisted partition functions of c<1 and periodic Gaussian conformal field theories.
