Abstract

Primary fields of the q-deformed Virasoro algebra are constructed. Commutation relations among the primary fields are studied. Adjoint actions of the deformed Virasoro current on the primary fields are represented by the shift operator Θξf(x) = f(ξx). Four point functions of the primary fields enjoy the connection formula associated with the Boltzmann weights of the fusion Andrews–Baxter–Forrester model.
