Abstract: (Elsevier)
We present the partition function for orbifold theories obtained by moding cyclic permutational symmetries of a product of identical conformal field theories in two dimensions and read off the spectrum of twisted states. We also shortly discuss applications to tensor products of minimal N = 2 superconformal field theories used in Gepner type superstring compactifications and indicate how the orbifoldization works on the corresponding Calabi-Yau manifolds.
