A Short Guide to Orbifold Deconstruction

TL;DR

This paper explores the problem of orbifold deconstruction in conformal field theory, focusing on recognizing when a model is an orbifold and identifying its underlying structure using minimal information.

Contribution

It provides a systematic approach to determine if a conformal model is an orbifold and to identify its twist group and original model.

Findings

Develops criteria for orbifold recognition

Provides methods to identify twist groups

Enhances understanding of conformal model structures

Abstract

We study the problem of orbifold deconstruction, i.e., the process of recognizing, using only readily available information, whether a given conformal model can be realized as an orbifold, and the identification of the twist group and the original conformal model.
