Twisted vertex representations via spin groups and the McKay correspondence

Quantum Algebra 2024-04-09 v2 Representation Theory

Abstract

We establish a twisted analog of our recent work on vertex representations and the McKay correspondence. For each finite group Γ\Gamma and a virtual character of Γ\Gamma we construct twisted vertex operators on the Fock space spanned by the super spin characters of the spin wreath products ΓS~n\Gamma\wr\widetilde{S}_n of Γ\Gamma and a double cover of the symmetric group SnS_n for all nn. When Γ\Gamma is a subgroup of SL2(C)SL_2(\mathbb C) with the McKay virtual character, our construction gives a group theoretic realization of the basic representations of the twisted affine and twisted toroidal algebras. When Γ\Gamma is an arbitrary finite group and the virtual character is trivial, our vertex operator construction yields the spin character tables for ΓS~n\Gamma\wr\widetilde{S}_n.
