Abstract
We study logarithmic operators in Coulomb gas models, and show that th ey occur when the ''puncture'' operator of the Liouville theory is inc luded in the model. We also consider WZNW models for SL(2,R), and for SU(2) at level 0, in which we find logarithmic operators which form Jo rdan blocks for the current as well as the Virasoro algebra.
