Abstract

In this paper we classify, under certain restrictions, all homogeneous conformal subalgebras \gothL\goth L of a lattice vertex superalgebra VΛV_\Lambda corresponding to an integer lattice Λ\Lambda. We require that \gothL\goth L is graded by an almost finite root system ΔΛ\Delta\subset \Lambda and that \gothL\goth L is stable under the action of the Heisenberg conformal algebra \gothHVΛ\goth H\subset V_\Lambda. We also describe the root systems of these subalgebras. The key ingredient of this classification is an infinite type conformal algebra \gothK\goth K obtained by the Tits-Kantor-Koeher construction from a certain Jordan conformal triple system \gothJ\goth J. We realize a central extension \gothKˆ\^{\goth K} of \gothK\goth K inside the fermionic vertex superalgebra VZV_\Z, thus extending the bozon-fermion correspondence.
