Abstract:

Previously we gave a proof of the Feigin--Fuchs character formula for the irreducible unitary discrete series of the Virasoro algebra with 02. In this paper we consider the same problem in the limiting case of the coset construction c=1. Using primary fields, we directly establish that the Virasoro algebra acts irreducibly on the multiplicity spaces of irreducible representations of SU(2) in the two level one irreducible representations of the corresponding affine Kac--Moody algebra. This gives a direct proof that the only singular vectors in these representations are those given by Goldstone's formulas, which also play an important part in the proof. For this proof, the theory is developed from scratch in a self-contained semi-expository way. Using the Jantzen filtration and the Kac determinant formula, we give an additional independent proof for the case c=1 which generalises to the case 0
