Abstract

We classify the irreducible modules of a rational Lorentzian lattice vertex operator algebra (LLVOA) based on an even, self-dual Lorentzian lattice ΛRm,n\Lambda\subset\mathbb{R}^{m,n} of signature (m,n)(m,n). We show that the set of isomorphism classes of irreducible modules of the LLVOA are in one-to-one correspondence with the equivalence classes Λ0/Λ0\Lambda_0^\circ/\Lambda_0 for a certain subset Λ0Rm,n\Lambda_0^\circ\subset\mathbb{R}^{m,n} and a full rank sublattice Λ0Λ\Lambda_0\subset\Lambda. We also classify the intertwining operators between the modules and calculate the fusion rules. We then describe the standard construction of modular tensor category (MTC) associated to rational LLCFTs. We explicitly construct the modular data and braiding and fusing matrices for the MTC. As a concrete example, we show that the LLCFT based on a certain even, self-dual Lorentzian lattice of signature (m,n)(m, n), with mm even, realizes the D(mmod8)D(m \bmod 8) level 1 Kac-Moody MTC.
