Ordinary modules for vertex algebras of $\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n}$
Abstract
We show that the affine vertex superalgebra at generic level embeds in the equivariant -algebra of times free fermions. This has two corollaries: (1) it provides a new proof that for generic , the coset is isomorphic to for , and (2) we obtain the decomposition of ordinary -modules into -modules. Next, if is an admissible level and is a non-degenerate admissible level for , we show that the simple algebra is an extension of the simple subalgebra . Using the theory of vertex superalgebra extensions, we prove that the category of ordinary -modules is a semisimple, rigid vertex tensor supercategory with only finitely many inequivalent simple objects. It is equivalent to a certain subcategory of -modules. A similar result also holds for the category of Ramond twisted modules. Due to a recent theorem of Robert McRae, we get as a corollary that categories of ordinary -modules are rigid.
