Description

We use the recently established higher-level Bailey lemma and Bose-Fermi polynomial identities for the minimal models M(p,p') to demonstrate the existence of a Bailey flow from M(p,p') to the coset models (A(1)1)N x (A(1)1)N'/(A(1)1)N+N' where N is a positive integer and N' is fractional, and to obtain Bose-Fermi identities for these models. The fermionic side of these identities is expressed in terms of the fractional-level Cartan matrix introduced in the study of M(p,p'). Possible relations between Bailey and renormalization group flow are discussed. (orig.)
