We develop an orbifold theory for finite, cyclic groups acting on holomorphic vertex operator algebras. Then we show that Schellekens' classification of $V_1$-structures of meromorphic conformal field theories of central charge 24 is a…

This paper is the first in a series on graphical calculus for quantum vertex operators. We establish in great detail the foundations of graphical calculus for ribbon categories and braided monoidal categories with twist. We illustrate the…

The fusion procedure of dilute $A_L$ models is constructed. It has been shown that the fusion rules have two types: $su(2)$ and $su(3)$. This paper is concerned with the $su(2)$ fusion rule mainly and the corresponding functional relations…

Unitary vertex operator algebras are introduced and studied. It is proved that most well-known rational vertex operator algebras are unitary. The classification of unitary vertex operator algebras with central charge c less than or equal to…

We investigate the limit of sequences of vertex algebras. We discuss under what condition the vector space direct limit of such a sequence is again a vertex algebra. We then apply this framework to permutation orbifolds of vertex operator…

Vertex operators are constructed providing representations of the exchange relations containing either the S-matrix of a real coupling (simply-laced) affine Toda field theory, or its minimal counterpart. One feature of the construction is…

The following integrability theorem for vertex operator algebras V satisfying some finiteness conditions(C_2-cofinite and CFT-type) is proved: the vertex operator subalgebra generated by a simple Lie subalgebra {\frak g} of the weight one…

A characterization of vertex operator algebra V_{Z\alpha}^+ with (\alpha,\alpha)/2 not being a perfect square is given in terms of dimensions of homogeneous subspaces of small weights. This result contributes to the classification of…

This is an expository introduction to fusion rules for affine Kac-Moody algebras, with major focus on the algorithmic aspects of their computation and the relationship with tensor product decompositions. Many explicit examples are included…

We generalize the notion of an intertwining operator to N-graded weak modules over a vertex operator algebra and study their properties. We show a formula for the dimensions of these intertwining operators in terms of modules over the Zhu…

In this paper, we study a class of simple OZ-type vertex operator algebras $V$ generated by simple Virasoro vectors $\omega^{ij}=\omega^{ji}$, $1\leq i<j\leq n$, $n\geq 3$. We prove that $V$ is uniquely determined by its Griess algebra…

We characterize vertex algebras (in a suitable sense) as algebras over a certain graded co-operad. We also discuss some examples and categorical implications of this characterization.

For a vertex operator algebra $V$, the regular representations are related to the $A_{n}(V)$-algebras and their bimodules, and induced $V$-modules from $A_{n}(V)$-modules are defined and studied in terms of the regular representations.

In rational conformal field theory, the Verlinde formula computes the fusion coefficients from the modular S-transformations of the characters of the chiral algebra's representations. Generalising this formula to logarithmic models has…

We construct the intertwining operator superalgebras and vertex tensor categories for the N=2 superconformal unitary minimal models and other related models.

The Demazure character formula is applied to the Verlinde formula for affine fusion rules. We follow Littelmann's derivation of a generalized Littlewood-Richardson rule from Demazure characters. A combinatorial rule for affine fusions does…

We recall the classification of the irreducible representations of $SL(2)_q$, and then give fusion rules for these representations. We also consider the problem of $\cR$-matrices, intertwiners of the differently ordered tensor products of…

Vertex algebras provide an axiomatic algebraic description of the operator product expansion (OPE) of chiral fields in 2-dimensional conformal field theory. Vertex Lie algebras (= Lie conformal algebras) encode the singular part of the OPE,…

We determine Zhu's algebra and C_2-algebra of parafermion vertex operator algebras for sl_2. Moreover, we prove the C_2-cofiniteness of parafermion vertex operator algebras for any finite dimensional simple Lie algebras.
