Cardy condition for open-closed field algebras
Abstract
Let be a vertex operator algebra satisfying certain reductivity and finiteness conditions such that , the category of V-modules, is a modular tensor category. We study open-closed field algebras over V equipped with nondegenerate invariant bilinear forms for both open and closed sectors. We show that they give algebras over certain -extension of the Swiss-cheese partial dioperad, and we obtain Ishibashi states easily in such algebras. We formulate Cardy condition algebraically in terms of the action of the modular transformation on the space of intertwining operators. We then derive a graphical representation of S in the modular tensor category . This result enables us to give a categorical formulation of Cardy condition and modular invariant conformal full field algebra over . Then we incorporate the modular invariance condition for genus-one closed theory, Cardy condition and the axioms for open-closed field algebra over V equipped with nondegenerate invariant bilinear forms into a tensor-categorical notion called Cardy -algebra. We also give a categorical construction of Cardy -algebra in Cardy case.
