Popis: We propose a systematic classification of Narain conformal field theories based on finite dimensional Lie algebras $\mathbf{g}$ and representations $\mathcal{R}_{\mathbf{g}}$. First, we describe our proposal for the su(2) conformal theory termed as NCFT$_{2}^{\mathbf{su}_{2}}$ with central charge $(\mathrm{c}_{L},\mathrm{c}_{R})=(\mathrm{1},\mathrm{1})$ and modular invariant partition function Z$_{\mathbf{su}_{2}}^{(1,1)}$. Then, we extend this model to encompass the NCFT$_{2}^{\mathbf{g}}$ families with higher rank algebras $\mathbf{g}_{\mathrm{r}} $ having central charges $\mathrm{c}_{L/R}=\mathrm{r}$ and partition function Z$_{\mathbf{g}}^{(r,r)}.$ In this newly established framework, we construct a realisation of the Zamolodchikov metric of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{\mathbf{g}}$ in terms of Lie algebraic data namely the Cartan matrix K$_{\mathbf{g}}$ and its inverse K$_{\mathbf{g}}^{-1}$. Properties regarding the ensemble averaging of these CFTs and their holographic dual are also derived. Additionally, we discuss possible generalisations to NCFTs having dis-symmetric central charges $(\mathrm{c}_{L},\mathrm{c}_{R})=(\mathrm{s}, \mathrm{r})$ with $s>r$ and highlight further features of the partition function Z$_{\mathbf{g}}^{(r,r)}$.
