Relationship to Lie algebras and finite simple groups (11F22) Theta series; Weil representation; theta correspondences (11F27) Virasoro and related algebras (17B68) Infinite-dimensional groups and algebras motivated by physics, including Virasoro, Kac-Moody, (W)-algebras and other current algebras and their representations (81R10) Two-dimensional field theories, conformal field theories, etc. in quantum mechanics (81T40)

Abstract: We describe the construction of vector valued modular forms transforming under a given congruence representation of the modular group SL$$ in terms of theta series. We apply this general setup to obtain closed and easily computable formulas for conformal characters of rational models of $W$-algebras.
