Abstract

Let VV be a C2C_2-cofinite vertex operator algebra without nonzero elements of negative weights. We prove the conjecture that the spaces spanned by analytic extensions of pseudo-qq-traces (q=e2πiτq=e^{2\pi i\tau}) shifted by c24-\frac{c}{24} of products of geometrically-modified (logarithmic) intertwining operators among grading-restricted generalized VV-modules are invariant under modular transformations. The convergence and analytic extension result needed to formulate this conjecture and some consequences on such shifted pseudo-qq-traces were proved by Fiordalisi in [F1] and [F2] using the method developed in [H2]. The method that we use to prove this conjecture is based on the theory of the associative algebras AN(V)A^{N}(V) for NNN\in \mathbb{N}, their graded modules and their bimodules introduced and studied by the author in [H8] and [H9]. This modular invariance result gives a construction of C2C_2-cofinite genus-one logarithmic conformal field theories from the corresponding genus-zero logarithmic conformal field theories.
