Abstract

Let XX be a complex manifold, π:EX\pi: E \rightarrow X a locally trivial holomorphic fibration with fiber FF, and g\mathfrak{g} a Lie algebra with an invariant symmetric form. We associate to this data a holomorphic prefactorization algebra Fg,π\mathcal{F}_{\mathfrak{g}, \pi} on XX in the formalism of Costello-Gwilliam. When X=CX=\mathbb{C}, g\mathfrak{g} is simple, and FF is a smooth affine variety, we extract from Fg,π\mathcal{F}_{\mathfrak{g}, \pi} a vertex algebra which is a vacuum module for the universal central extension of the Lie algebra gH0(F,O)[z,z1]\mathfrak{g} \otimes H^{0}(F, \mathcal{O})[z,z^{-1}]. As a special case, when FF is an algebraic torus (C)n(\mathbb{C}^{*})^n, we obtain a vertex algebra naturally associated to an (n+1)(n+1)--toroidal algebra, generalizing the affine vacuum module.
