Herein we study conformal vectors of a Z-graded vertex algebra of (strong) CFT type. We prove that the full vertex algebra automorphism group transitively acts on the set of the conformal vectors of strong CFT type if the vertex algebra is…

Several aspects of the interplay between monotone operator theory and convex optimization are presented. The crucial role played by monotone operators in the analysis and the numerical solution of convex minimization problems is emphasized.…

A systematic scheme is developed for solving conformal algebra of the massive vertex operators in the old covariant first quantized string theory. Using the first massive level in the covariant spectrum of bosonic open string theory in flat…

Rota-Baxter operators on algebras, which appeared in 1960, have connections with different versions of the Yang-Baxter equation, pre- and postalgebras, double Poisson algebras, etc. In 2020, the notion of Rota-Baxter operator on a group was…

In this exposition, I discuss several developments in the theory of vertex operator algebras, and I include motivation for the definition.

Any finite-dimensional complex pointed Hopf algebra with group of group-likes isomorphic to a sporadic group, with the possible exception of the Fischer groups Fi22, the Baby Monster B and the Monster M, is a group algebra.

We study the algebraic properties of plethystic vertex operators, introduced in J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 43 405202 (2010), underlying the structure of symmetric functions associated with certain generalized universal character rings of…

On the one hand the algebras of linear operators here act on finite-dimensional vector spaces, and on the other hand the point of view is generally an analysts'. Also, one might think of algebras as being used to add more data to basic…

In this paper we try to define the higher dimensional analogues of vertex algebras. In other words we define algebras which we hope have the same relation to higher dimensional quantum field theories that vertex algebras have to one…

We describe the collection of finite simple groups, with a view on physical applications. We recall first the prime cyclic groups $Z_p$, and the alternating groups $Alt_{n>4}$. After a quick revision of finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$, $q =…

The Nekrasov partition function in supersymmetric quantum gauge theory is mathematically formulated as an equivariant integral over certain moduli spaces of sheaves on a complex surface. In ``Seiberg-Witten Theory and Random Partitions'',…

Quasi-periodic solutions of the KP hierarchy acted by vertex operators are studied. We show, with the aid of the Sato Grassmannian, that solutions thus constructed correspond to torsion free rank one sheaves on some singular algebraic…

In this article, we describe some maximal $3$-local subgroups of the Monster simple group using vertex operator algebras (VOA). We first study the holomorphic vertex operator algebra obtained by applying the orbifold construction to the…

Rota--Baxter operators on groups were introduced by L. Guo, H. Lang, Yu. Sheng in 2020. In 2023, V. Bardakov and the second author showed that all Rota--Baxter operators on simple sporadic groups are splitting, i.\,e. they correspond to…

We show that every finite-dimensional complex pointed Hopf algebra with group of group-likes isomorphic to a sporadic group is a group algebra, except for the Fischer group Fi22, the Baby Monster and the Monster. For these three groups, we…

We construct 2-representations of quantum affine algebras from 2-representations of quantum Heisenberg algebras. The main tool in this construction are categorical vertex operators, which are certain complexes in a Heisenberg…

Let $\mathfrak{n}$ be a nonempty, proper, convex subset of $\mathbb{C}$. The $\mathfrak{n}$-maximal operators are defined as the operators having numerical ranges in $\mathfrak{n}$ and are maximal with this property. Typical examples of…

The Heisenberg Oscillator Algebra admits irreducible representations both on the ring $B$ of polynomials in infinitely many indeterminates (the {\em bosonic representation}) and on a graded-by-{\em charge} vector space, the {\em…

In this work we describe the mathematical foundations used in the construction of primary fields of minimal models of conformal field theory. The work contains two parts: In the first part we give a description of Verma and Fock modules for…

The theory of vertex algebras constitutes a mathematically rigorous axiomatic formulation of the algebraic origins of conformal field theory. In this context Borcherds algebras arise as certain ``physical'' subspaces of vertex algebras. The…
