Unitary representations of the Virasoro and super-Virasoro algebras
- P. Goddard, A. Kent, D. Olive
- Mathematics
- 1986
It is shown that a method previously given for constructing representations of the Virasoro algebra out of representations of affine Kac-Moody algebras yields the full discrete series of highest… Expand
Virasoro algebras and coset space models
- P. Goodard, A. Kent, D. Olive
- Physics
- 28 February 1985
Abstract A previous construction of unitary representations of the Virasoro algebra is extended and interpreted physically in terms of a coset space quark model. The quaternionic projective spaces… Expand

On the consistent histories approach to quantum mechanics
- Fay Dowker, A. Kent
- Mathematics, Physics
- 22 December 1994
We review the consistent histories formulations of quantum mechanics developed by Griffiths, Omnès, and Gell-Mann and Hartle, and describe the classification of consistent sets. We illustrate some… Expand
Determinant Formulae and Unitarity for the N=2 Superconformal Algebras in Two-Dimensions or Exact Results on String Compactification
- W. Boucher, D. Friedan, A. Kent
- Physics
- 22 May 1986
Determinant formulae are presented for the periodic, antiperiodic and twisted N = 2 superconformal algebras in two dimensions, and a classification is derived of the unitary highest weight… Expand

One world versus many: the inadequacy of Everettian accounts of evolution, probability, and scientific confirmation
- A. Kent
- Physics, Mathematics
- 5 May 2009
There is a compelling intellectual case for exploring whether purely unitary quantum theory defines a sensible and scientifically adequate theory, as Everett originally proposed. Many different and… Expand
