Tensor categories of weight modules of $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2$ at admissible level
Abstract
The category of weight modules of the simple affine vertex algebra of at an admissible level is neither finite nor semisimple and modules are usually not lower-bounded and have infinite dimensional conformal weight subspaces. However this vertex algebra enjoys a duality with , the simple prinicipal -algebra of at level (the super conformal algebra) where the levels are related via . Every weight module of is lower-bounded and has finite-dimensional conformal weight spaces. The main technical result is that every weight module of is -cofinite. The existence of a vertex tensor category follows and the theory of vertex superalgebra extensions implies the existence of vertex tensor category structure on for any admissible level . As applications, the fusion rules of ordinary modules with any weight module are computed and it is shown that is a ribbon category if and only if is, in particular it follows that for admissible levels and and the category is a ribbon category.
