The Verlinde Algebra summarizes the selection rules for the operator product expansion in conformal field theories.

The Verlinde Algebra and the Verlinde Formula

The Verlinde Algebra is directly related to the Verlinde Formula

(1)

$\phi_i\times\phi_j=\sum_k N_{ij}{}^k\phi_k$

(2)

$N_{ij}{}^k= \sum_n {S_{in}S_{jn} S^{kn}\over S_{0n}}$
