Abstract

We construct orbifolds of holomorphic lattice Vertex Operator Algebras for non-Abelian finite automorphism groups GG. To this end, we construct twisted modules for automorphisms gg together with the projective representation of the centralizer of gg on the twisted module. This allows us to extract the irreducible modules of the fixed point VOA VGV^G, and to compute their characters and modular transformation properties. We then construct holomorphic VOAs by adjoining such modules to VGV^G. Applying these methods to extremal lattices in d=48d=48 and d=72d=72, we construct more than fifty new holomorphic VOAs of central charge 48 and 72, many of which have a very small number of light states.
