Abstract: (Springer)
A proof is given for the existence of two and only two modular invariant partition functions in affineSUundefined(3)k\widehat{SU}(3)_k theories at heightsn=k+3 which are prime numbers. Arithmetic properties of the ring of algebraic integers ℤ(ω) which is related toSU(3) weights are extensively used.
