摘要：
We derive compact formulae for modular transformation matrices of Wess–Zumino–Witten (WZW) affine characters. We start in this text with the simple case of A1 algebra at positive level k=n-2, for which we can easily provide some description of isometry group and genus formula in a special case. We also point to general features of these expressions, formulating and proving theorems for rational conformal field theories (sometimes called RCFT’s) which seem new.
