We study Kramers-Wannier dualities for Wess-Zumino-Witten theories and (super-)minimal models in the Cardy case, i.e. the case with bulk partition function given by charge conjugation. Using the TFT approach to full rational conformal field theories, we classify those dualities that preserve all chiral symmetries. Dualities turn out to exist for small levels only.

Gerbe-holonomy for surfaces with defect networks

We define the sigma-model action for world-sheets with embedded defect networks in the presence of a three-form field strength. We derive the defect gluing condition for the sigma-model fields and…

This work shows that kramers-Wannier dualities in lattice models can be found directly and explicitly from the symmetry transformations of the boundary states in the underlying conformal field theory.

Kramers-wannier duality from conformal defects.

We demonstrate that the fusion algebra of conformal defects of a two-dimensional conformal field theory contains information about the internal symmetries of the theory and allows one to read off…

Some aspects of quantum dimensions of primary fields of WZW theories are described. Quantum dimensions are an important tool in the analysis of the fusion rules, both for the description of general…
