General minimal-model reducibility conjecture for tensor-product Virasoro modules

About 13 years old · traced to

Let c=cp,qeq0c=c_{p,q} eq 0 and let L(c,h)L(c,h) be a minimal model. Let Vα,β′V_{\alpha,\beta}^{\prime} be an irreducible module from the intermediate series, and let an admissible triple mean a triple ((m,n),(m′,n′),(m\doubleprime,n\doubleprime))((m,n),(m^{\prime},n^{\prime}),(m^{\doubleprime},n^{\doubleprime})) satisfying the admissibility conditions for the minimal model. General minimal-model reducibility conjecture. The module Vα,β′⊗L(c,h)V_{\alpha,\beta}^{\prime}\otimes L(c,h) is reducible if and only if there exists an admissible triple such that

h=hm′,n′,α=hm,n+hm′,n′−hm′′,n′′,β=1−hm,n.h=h_{m^{\prime},n^{\prime}},\qquad \alpha=h_{m,n}+h_{m^{\prime},n^{\prime}}-h_{m^{\prime\prime},n^{\prime\prime}},\qquad \beta=1-h_{m,n}.

In this case there is an irreducible submodule UU such that

(Vα,β′⊗L(c,h))/U≅L(c,hm′′,n′′).\left(V_{\alpha,\beta}^{\prime}\otimes L(c,h)\right)/U\cong L(c,h_{m^{\prime\prime},n^{\prime\prime}}).

The conjecture extends the explicit reducibility and quotient results obtained for several minimal models, including the cases c=−22/5c=-22/5 and c=1/2c=1/2; its validity for all nonzero minimal-model central charges remains open.
