Description

We study SU(2)k WZW and Zk parafermion models using a Coulomb-gas formulation related to that of Wakimoto and Zamolodchikov. We discuss the truncation of the Fock modules of the free bosons of the Coulomb-gas system to obtain the parafermion and SU(2)k modules. Explicit expressions are given for the correlators of these models on the torus. A detailed discussion of their modular transformation and their monodromy is also given, the complications being due to the restrictions on the lattice summations. (orig.)
