Abstract

This paper is to study vertex operator superalgebras which are strongly generated by their weight-22 and weight-32\frac{3}{2} homogeneous subspaces. Among the main results, it is proved that if such a vertex operator superalgebra VV is simple, then V(2)V_{(2)} has a canonical commutative associative algebra structure equipped with a non-degenerate symmetric associative bilinear form and V(32)V_{(\frac{3}{2})} is naturally a V(2)V_{(2)}-module equipped with a V(2)V_{(2)}-valued symmetric bilinear form and a non-degenerate (C\mathbb{C}-valued) symmetric bilinear form, satisfying a set of conditions. On the other hand, assume that AA is any commutative associative algebra equipped with a non-degenerate symmetric associative bilinear form and assume that UU is an AA-module equipped with a symmetric AA-valued bilinear form and a non-degenerate (C\mathbb{C}-valued) symmetric bilinear form, satisfying the corresponding conditions. Then we construct a Lie superalgebra L(A,U)\mathcal{L}(A,U) and a simple vertex operator superalgebra LL(A,U)(,0)L_{\mathcal{L}(A,U)}(\ell,0) for every nonzero number \ell such that LL(A,U)(,0)(2)=AL_{\mathcal{L}(A,U)}(\ell,0)_{(2)}=A and LL(A,U)(,0)(32)=UL_{\mathcal{L}(A,U)}(\ell,0)_{(\frac{3}{2})}=U.
