Abstract:

In this paper, an algorithm for computing the principal character for affine Lie algebras is discussed and presented. The principal characters discovered using this program are given and/or proven. Results include level 2 and 3 character formulas in $A_{2n-1}^{(2)}$ and the sole existence of the Rogers-Ramanujan products in $A_1^{(1)}$, $A_2^{(1)}$, $A_2^{(2)}$, $C_3^{(1)}$, $F_4^{(1)}$, $G_2^{(1)}$, $A_7^{(2)}$.
