Abstract
We study the 3-parametric family of vertex operator algebras based on the unitary Grassmannian coset CFT . This VOA serves as a basic building block for a large class of cosets and generalizes the algebra. We analyze representations and their characters in detail and find surprisingly simple character formulas for the representations in the generic parameter regime that admit an elegant combinatorial formulation. We also discuss truncations of the algebra and give a conjectural formula for the complete set of truncation curves. We develop a theory of gluing for these algebras in order to build more complicated coset and non-coset algebras. We demonstrate the power of this technology with some examples and show in particular that the supersymmetric Grassmannian can be obtained by gluing…
