Abstract

We extend the definitions of characters and partition functions to the case of conformal field theories which contain operators with logarithmic correlation functions. As an example we consider the theories with central charge c = cP,1 = 13 -6(p + p-1), the "border" of the discrete minimal series. We show that there is a slightly generalized form of the property of rationality for such logarithmic theories. In particular, we obtain a classification of theories with c = cp,1 which is similar to the A-D-E classification of c = 1 models.
