The Frobenius-Schur indicator in Conformal Field Theory

Abstract

An analogue of the classical Frobenius-Schur indicator is introduced in order to distinguish between real and pseudo-real self-conjugate primary fields, and an explicit expression for this quantity is derived from the trace of the braiding operator.
