Abstract

A method is developed for constructing single valued rational 4-point functions of primary fields for su2 conformal current algebra satisfying the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation. For integer conformal dimensions Δ these rational solutions are proven to be in one-to-one correspondence with non-diagonal modular invariant partition functions of the D-even and E-even series of the ADE classification.
