Abstract

Let LL be an even positive definite lattice with no roots, i.e., L(2)={xL(xx)=2}=L(2)=\{x\in L\mid (x|x)=2\}=\emptyset. Let gO(L)g\in O(L) be an isometry of order 44 such that g2=1g^2=-1 on LL. In this article, we determine the full automorphism group of the orbifold vertex operator algebra VLg^V_L^{\hat{g}}. As our main result, we show that Aut(VLg^)Aut(V_L^{\hat{g}}) is isomorphic to NAut(VL)(g^)/g^N_{Aut(V_L)}(\langle \hat{g}\rangle)/ \langle\hat{g}\rangle unless L2E8L\cong \sqrt{2}E_8 or BW16BW_{16}.
