Conformal-embedding conjecture for folded Dynkin-diagram CFTs
Conformal-embedding conjecture for folded Dynkin-diagram CFTs
Let and let be a folding of . Write and for the two-dimensional conformal field theories associated with these Dynkin diagrams. Conformal-embedding conjecture. The CFT associated with the folded diagram can be conformally embedded in the CFT associated with the unfolded diagram:
The conjecture is motivated by the observed equality of central charges under folding; the supplied text gives no proof or resolution.
