Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the theory of gg-twisted modules for modular 12Z\frac{1}{2}\mathbb{Z}-graded vertex superalgebras over an algebraically closed field F\mathbb{F} of prime characteristic p>2p>2. For a 12Z\frac{1}{2}\mathbb{Z}-graded vertex superalgebra VV and an automorphism gg of VV of finite order TT relatively prime to pp, we give a twisted version of Zhu's associative algebra, denoted by Ag(V)A_g(V). We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of equivalence classes of simple Ag(V)A_g(V)-modules and the set of equivalence classes of simple 1T0N\frac{1}{T_0}\mathbb{N}-graded gg-twisted VV-modules, where T0T_0 is the order of the automorphism gσg\sigma with σ\sigma the parity automorphism. As an application, we study twisted modules for modular vertex superalgebras associated to the affine Lie superalgebras and determine the corresponding twisted Zhu algebra. We also compute the twisted Zhu algebra for the modular Neveu-Schwarz vertex superalgebra and classify its irreducible twisted modules.
