Algorithms for affine Kac-Moody algebras
Terry Gannon
Weyl groups are ubiquitous, and efficient algorithms for them -- especially for the exceptional algebras -- are clearly desirable. In this paper we provide several of these, addres…

Modular data: the algebraic combinatorics of conformal field theory
Terry Gannon
This paper is primarily intended as an introduction for the mathematically inclined to some of the rich algebraic combinatorics arising in for instance CFT. It is essentially self-…
