Abstract: We derive new fermionic expressions for the characters of the Virasoro minimal models M(k,2kpm1) by analysing the recently introduced half-lattice paths. These fermionic expressions display a quasiparticle formulation characteristic of the phi2,1 and phi1,5 integrable perturbations. We find that they arise by imposing a simple restriction on the RSOS quasiparticle states of the unitary models M(p,p+1). In fact, four fermionic expressions are obtained for each generating function of half-lattice paths of finite length L, and these lead to four distinct expressions for most characters chir,sk,2kpm1. These are direct analogues of Melzer's expressions for M(p,p+1), and their proof entails revisiting, reworking and refining a proof of Melzer's identities which used combinatorial transforms on lattice paths. We also derive a bosonic version of the generating functions of length L half-lattice paths, this expression being notable in that it involves q-trinomial coefficients. Taking the Loinfty limit shows that the generating functions for infinite length half-lattice paths are indeed the Virasoro characters chir,sk,2kpm1.
