We first determine the automorphism group of the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro vertex operator algebra $V_{\mathcal{L}}(\ell_{123},0)$.Then, for any integer $t>1$, we introduce a new Lie algebra $\mathcal{L}_{t}$, and show that…

If $V$ is a vector space over a field $F$, then we consider the projection from the tensor algebra to the symmetric algebra, $\rho_{T,S}:T(V)\to S(V)$. Our main result, in $\S$1, gives a description of $\ker\rho_{T,S}$. Explicitly, we…

Twisted current algebras are fixed point subalgebras of current algebras under a finite group action. Special cases include equivariant map algebras and twisted forms of current algebras. Their finite-dimensional simple modules fall into…
