The Nappi-Witten model is a Wess-Zumino Witten model in which the target space is the nonreductive Heisenberg group $H_4.Abstract:
The Nappi-Witten model is a Wess-Zumino-Witten model in which the target space is the nonreductive Heisenberg group $H_4$. We consider the representation theory underlying this conformal field theory. Specifically, we study the category of weight modules, with finite-dimensional weight spaces, over the associated affine vertex operator algebra $\mathsf{H}_4$. In particular, we classify the irreducible $\mathsf{H}_4$-modules in this category and compute their characters. We moreover observe that this category is nonsemisimple, suggesting that the Nappi-Witten model is a logarithmic conformal field theory.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, a complete solution of the WZW model on the supergroup GL ( 1 | 1 ) is presented, which is interpreted as a geometric signal for the appearance of logarithms in the correlators of the full field theory.

Fusion rules and logarithmic representations of a WZW model at fractional level
TL;DR: In this paper, the fusion products of admissible representations of the su (2) WZW model at the fractional level k =−4/3 are analysed, and the complete set of representations that are closed under fusion is identified, and corresponding fusion rules are derived.
