$G/G$ topological field theories based on $G_k$ WZW models are constructed and studied. These coset models are formulated as Complex BRST cohomology in $G^c_k$, the complexified level $k$ current algebra. The finite physical spectrum corresponds to the conformal blocks of $G_k$ .The amplitudes for $G/G$ theories are argued to be given in terms of the $G_k$ fusion rules. The $G_k/G_k$ character is the Kac-Weyl numerator of $G_k$ and is interpreted as an index. The Complex BRST cohomology is found to contain states of arbitrary ghost number. Intriguing similarities of $G/G$ to $c\leq 1$ matter systems coupled to two dimensional gravity are pointed out.

  1. Non-Invertible Anyon Condensation and Level-Rank Dualities

    hep-th 2023-12 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    New dualities in 3d TQFTs are derived via non-invertible anyon condensation, generalizing level-rank dualities and providing new presentations for parafermion theories, c=1 orbifolds, and SU(2)_N.
