Description

The torus partition function of the critical O(n) model, which is known since 1987, does not fully characterize the space of states. For complex n, I will conjecture a determination of that space in terms of irreducible O(n) representations and indecomposable Virasoro representations. I will then describe the interplay between O(n) symmetry and crossing symmetry in four-point correlation functions, and explain how the solutions of crossing symmetry can be counted numerically. This leads to the determination of some of the model's fusion rules.

This talk is based on the preprint https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.01106 with Linnea Grans-Samuelsson, Rongvoram Nivesvivat, Jesper Lykke Jacobsen, and Hubert Saleur.
