Abstract
Given a vertex algebra and a subalgebra , the commutant is the subalgebra of which commutes with all elements of . This construction is analogous to the ordinary commutant in the theory of associative algebras, and is important in physics in the construction of coset conformal field theories. When is an affine vertex algebra, is closely related to rings of invariant functions on arc spaces. We find strong finite generating sets for a family of examples where is affine and is a -system, -system, or -system.
