To study the representation category of the triplet W-algebra W(p) that is the symmetry of the (1,p) logarithmic conformal field theory model, we propose the equivalent category C(p) of finite-dimensional representations of the restricted…
A comprehensive introduction to logarithmic conformal field theory, using an algebraic point of view, is given. A number of examples are explained in detail, including the c=-2 triplet theory and the k=-4/3 affine su(2) theory. We also give…
We review the new approach to the theory of nonlinear $W$-algebras which is developed recently and called {\it conformal linearization}. In this approach $W$-algebras are embedded as subalgebras into some {\it linear conformal} algebras…
We investigate some aspects of the c=-2 logarithmic conformal field theory. These include the various representations related to this theory, the structures which come out of the Zhu algebra and the W algebra related to this theory. We try…
In his landmark paper, Zhu associated two associative algebras to a vertex operator algebra: what are now called Zhu's algebra and the C_2-algebra. The former has a nice interpretation in terms of the representation theory of the VOA, while…
We analyse the SU(2)_k WZNW models beyond the integrable representations and in particular the case of SU(2)_0. We find that these are good examples of logarithmic conformal field theories as indecomposable representations are naturally…
Some of the consequences that follow from the C_2 condition of Zhu are analysed. In particular it is shown that every conformal field theory satisfying the C_2 condition has only finitely many n-point functions, and this result is used to…
We introduce a new family of C_2-cofinite N=1 vertex operator superalgebras SW(m), $m \geq 1$, which are natural super analogs of the triplet vertex algebra family W(p), $p \geq 2$, important in logarithmic conformal field theory. We…
We study the triplet vertex operator algebra $\mathcal{W}(p)$ of central charge $1-\frac{6(p-1)^2}{p}$, $p \geq 2$. We show that $\trip$ is $C_2$-cofinite but irrational since it admits indecomposable and logarithmic modules. Furthermore,…
We analyse the fusion of representations of the triplet algebra, the maximally extended symmetry algebra of the Virasoro algebra at c=-2. It is shown that there exists a finite number of representations which are closed under fusion. These…
Logarithmic conformal field theory is a rich and vibrant area of modern mathematical physics with well-known applications to both condensed matter theory and string theory. Our limited understanding of these theories is based upon detailed…
We introduce a new approach that allows us to determine the structure of Zhu's algebra for certain vertex operator (super)algebras which admit horizontal $\mathbb{Z} $-grading. By using this method and an earlier description of Zhu's…
Two series of W-algebras with two generators are constructed from chiral vertex operators of a free field representation. If $c = 1 - 24k$, there exists a W(2,3k) algebra for k in $Z_{+}/2$ and a W(2,8k) algebra for k in $Z_{+}/4$. All…
We survey a number of results regarding the representation theory of $W$-algebras and their connection with the resent development of the four dimensional $N=2$ superconformal field theories in physics.
Finite versions of W-algebras are introduced by considering (symplectic) reductions of finite dimensional simple Lie algebras. In particular a finite analogue of $W^{(2)}_3$ is introduced and studied in detail. Its unitary and non-unitary,…
This is a continuation of arXiv:0908.4053, where, among other things, we classified irreducible representations of the triplet vertex algebra W_{2,3}. In this part we extend the classification to W_{2,p}, for all odd p>3. We also determine…
In 2D conformal quantum field theory, we continue a systematic study of W-algebras with two and three generators and their highest weight representations focussing mainly on rational models. We review the known facts about rational models…
The local logarithmic conformal field theory corresponding to the triplet algebra at c=-2 is constructed. The constraints of locality and crossing symmetry are explored in detail, and a consistent set of amplitudes is found. The spectrum of…
We study the representation theory of finite W-algebras. After introducing parabolic subalgebras to describe the structure of W-algebras, we define the Verma modules and give a conjecture for the Kac determinant. This allows us to find the…
We show that C_2-cofiniteness is enough to prove a modular invariance property of vertex operator algebras without assuming the semisimplicity of Zhu algebra. For example, if a VOA V=\oplus_{m=0}^{\infty}V_m is C_2-cofinite, then the space…
