Abstract

We determine the level two Zhu algebra for the Heisenberg vertex operator algebra VV for any choice of conformal element. We do this using only the following information for VV: the internal structure of VV; the level one Zhu algebra of VV already determined by the second author, along with Vander Werf and Yang; and the information the lower level Zhu algebras give regarding irreducible modules. We are able to carry out this calculation of the level two Zhu algebra for VV with this minimal information by employing the general results and techniques for determining generators and relations for higher level Zhu algebras for a vertex operator algebra, as developed previously by the authors in "On generators and relations for higher level Zhu algebras and applications", by Addabbo and Barron, J. Algebra, 2023. In particular, we show that the level nn Zhu algebras for the Heisenberg vertex operator algebra become noncommutative at level n=2n=2. We also give a conjecture for the structure of the level nn Zhu algebra for the Heisenberg vertex operator algebra, for any n>2n >2.
