Abstract

For the simple Lie algebra som \frak{so}_m, we study the commutant vertex operator algebra of Lso^m(n,0) L_{\hat{\frak{so}}_{m}}(n,0) in the nn-fold tensor product Lso^m(1,0)n L_{\hat{\frak{so}}_{m}}(1,0)^{\otimes n}. It turns out that this commutant vertex operator algebra can be realized as a fixed point subalgebra of Lso^n(m,0)L_{\hat{\frak{so}}_{n}}(m,0) (or its simple current extension) associated with a certain abelian group. This result may be viewed as a version of level-rank duality.
