An algebraic approach to logarithmic conformal field theory

Abstract

A comprehensive introduction to logarithmic conformal field theory, using an algebraic point of view, is given. A number of examples are explained in detail, including the c=-2 triplet theory and the k=-4/3 affine su(2) theory. We also give some brief introduction to the work of Zhu.
