The vertex algebras $\mathcal R^{(p)}$ and $\mathcal V^{(p)}$
Abstract
The vertex algebras and introduced in [2] are very interesting relatives of the famous triplet algebras of logarithmic CFT. The algebra (respectively, ) is a large extension of the simple affine vertex algebra (respectively, times a Heisenberg algebra), at level for positive integer . In this paper, we derive structural results of these algebras and prove various conjectures coming from representation theory and physics. We show that SU(2) acts as automorphisms on and we decompose as an -module and as an -module. The decomposition of shows that is the large level limit of a corner vertex algebra appearing in the context of S-duality. We also show that the quantum Hamiltonian reduction of is the logarithmic doublet algebra introduced in [12], while the reduction of yields the -algebra of [39]. Conversely, we realize and from and via a procedure that deserves to be called inverse quantum Hamiltonian reduction. As a corollary, we obtain that the category of ordinary -modules at level is a rigid vertex tensor category equivalent to a twist of the category Rep. This finally completes rigid braided tensor category structures for at all levels . We also establish a uniqueness result of certain vertex operator algebra extensions and use this result to prove that both and are certain non-principal W-algebras of type at boundary admissible levels. The same uniqueness result also shows that and are the chiral algebras of Argyres-Douglas theories of type and .
