Current Algebra Associated with Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories

We propose a general framework for deriving the OPEs within a logarithmic conformal field theory (LCFT). This naturally leads to the emergence of a logarithmetic partner of the energy momentum tensor within an LCFT and implies that the current algebra associated with an LCFT is expanded. We derive this algebra for a generic LCFT and discuss some of its implications. We observe that two constants arise in the OPE of the energy-momentum tensor with itself. One of these is the usual central charge.     

Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories Near a Boundary

We consider logarithmic conformal field theories near a boundary and derive the general form of one and two point functions. We obtain results for arbitrary and two dimensions. Application to two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics is discussed.
