This thesis studies the role of free fermions in certain classical and quantum integrable models. The classical models studied are the KP and BKP hierarchies of partial differential equations. We review the presence of free fermions in the…
This chapter is an introduction to the Free Fermionic Formulation of String Theory, with emphasis on heterotic model building. After a brief review of bosonization in two dimensional conformal field theories, we discuss how internal bosonic…
We introduce a notion of strongly C^{\times}-graded, or equivalently, C/Z-graded generalized g-twisted V-module associated to an automorphism g, not necessarily of finite order, of a vertex operator algebra. We also introduce a notion of…
Every isometry s of a positive-definite even lattice Q can be lifted to an automorphism of the lattice vertex algebra V_Q. An important problem in vertex algebra theory and conformal field theory is to classify the representations of the…
In this paper, we study the tensor products of irreducible highest weight modules with irreducible loop modules over the affine-Virasoro algebra with aid of the ``shifting technique" established for the Virasoro algebra in [H. Chen, X. Guo,…
In this article, we study the automorphism group of the cyclic orbifold of a vertex operator algebra associated with a rootless even lattice for a lift of a fixed-point free isometry of odd prime order $p$. We prove that such a cyclic…
This is a paper in a series systematically to study toroidal vertex algebras. Previously, a theory of toroidal vertex algebras and modules was developed and toroidal vertex algebras were explicitly associated to toroidal Lie algebras. In…
We study fermionic conformal field theories on surfaces with spin structure in the presence of boundaries, defects, and interfaces. We obtain the relevant crossing relations, taking particular care with parity signs and signs arising from…
In this note we study `a la Baxter [1] the possible integrable manifolds of the asymmetric eight-vertex model. As expected they occur when the Boltzmann weights are either symmetric or satisfy the free-fermion condition but our analysis…
Contrary to canonical expectations we show that lattice translational symmetry breaking often accompanies uniformly ordered flux phases. We demonstrate this phenomena by studying a spinless-fermion model on a square latttice with…
We introduce intertwining operators among twisted modules or twisted intertwining operators associated to not-necessarily-commuting automorphisms of a vertex operator algebra. Let $V$ be a vertex operator algebra and let $g_{1}$, $g_{2}$…
We introduce the notion of being cohomologically complete for objects of the derived category of sheaves of $Z[\hbar]$-modules on a topological space. Then we consider a $Z[\hbar]$-algebra satisfying some suitable conditions and prove…
With a view towards higher-spin applications, we study the partition function of a free complex fermion in 2d CFT, restricted to the neutral (zero fermion number) sector. This restriction leads to a partial theta function with a…
We introduce the main concepts and announce the main results in a theory of tensor products for module categories for a vertex operator algebra. This theory is being developed in a series of papers including hep-th 9309076 and hep-th…
The spinor-vector duality was discovered in free fermionic constructions of the heterotic-string in four dimensions. It played a key role in the construction of heterotic-string models with an anomaly free extra $Z^\prime$ symmetry that may…
We investigate the conformal transformation of vierbein-Einstein-Palatini (VEP) action in terms of tetrads $e^I_\mu$ and spin connection $A^{IJ}_\mu$. The transformation of the spin connection is indeterminate off-shell unless equations of…
For a rational and $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebra $V$ with an automorphism group $G$ of prime order, the fusion rules for twisted $V$-modules are studied, a twisted Verlinde formula which relates fusion rules for $g$-twisted modules…
We extend the periodic table of phases of free fermions in the ten-fold way symmetry classes to a classification of free fermionic phases protected by an arbitrary on-site unitary symmetry $\hat G$ in an arbitrary dimension. The…
We establish a combinatorial model for the Boardman--Vogt tensor product of several absolutely free operads, that is free symmetric operads that are also free as $\mathbb{S}$-modules. Our results imply that such a tensor product is always a…
Modulated symmetries are internal symmetries that are not invariant under spacetime symmetry actions. We propose a general way to describe the lattice translation modulated symmetries in 1+1D, including the non-invertible ones, via the…
