mathematical physics - How much of the Capelli-Itzykson-Zuber ADE-classification of su(2)-conformal field theories can one see perturbatively?


In their celebrated work, Capelli Itzykson and Zuber established an ADE-classification of modular invariant CFTs with chiral algebra $\mathfrak{su}(2)_k$.




How much of that classification can one see using the tools of perturbative quantum field theory?



Presumably, one can't see the exceptional $E_6$, $E_7$, $E_8$ family...
what about the $A_n$ versus $D_n$ families?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
