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 develop a theory of vector valued automorphic forms associated to the Weil representation $\omega_f$ and corresponding to vector valued modular forms transforming with the ``finite'' Weil representation $\rho_L$. For each prime $p$ we…
We discuss what has been achieved in the past twenty years on the construction and study of a braided finite tensor category structure on a suitable module category for a suitable vertex operator algebra. We identify the main difficult…
We give a general criterion for conformal embeddings of vertex operator algebras associated to affine Lie algebras at arbitrary levels. Using that criterion, we construct new conformal embeddings at admissible rational and negative integer…

We first discuss how open/closed chord diagrams, both with and without marked points, act on appropriate Hochschild complexes possibly coupled with the two-sided cobar complex. Then, in the main part of the paper, we introduce the notion of…
Irreducible modules of the 3-permutation orbifold of a rank one lattice vertex operator algebra are listed explicitly. Fusion rules are determined by using the quantum dimensions. The $S$-matrix is also given.
Using techniques from the theory of mock modular forms and harmonic Maass forms, especially Weierstrass mock modular forms, we establish several dimension formulas for certain strongly rational, holomorphic vertex operator algebras,…
This paper is about the orbifold theory of parafermion vertex operator algebras $K(osp(1|2),k)$ associated to the affine vertex operator superalgebra $L_{\widehat{osp(1|2)}}(k,0)$ with any positive integer $k$. Among the main results, we…
This article is the first report of an ongoing project aimed at finding a geometric interpretation of the Witten genus and other tmf classes. Section 2 reviews the sheaves of chiral differential operators (CDOs) over a complex manifold,…
We discuss the classification of strongly regular vertex operator algebras (VOAs) with exactly three simple modules whose character vector satisfies a monic modular linear differential equation with irreducible monodromy. Our Main Theorem…
When can two strongly rational vertex operator algebras or 1+1d rational conformal field theories (RCFTs) be related by topological manipulations? For vertex operator algebras, the term "topological manipulations" refers to operations like…
We endow the category of bialgebras over a pair of operads in distribution with a cofibrantly generated model category structure. We work in the category of chain complexes over a field of characteristic zero. We split our construction in…
For a simple vertex operator algebra whose Virasoro element is a sum of commutative Virasoro elements of central charge 1/2, two codes are introduced and studied. It is proved that such vertex operator algebras are rational. For lattice…
We define closed model category structures on different categories connected to the world of operad algebras over the category C(k) of (unbounded) complexes of k-modules: on the category of operads, on the category of algebras over a fixed…
Let $V$ be a strongly regular vertex operator algebra. For a state $h \in V_1$ satisfying appropriate integrality conditions, we prove that the space spanned by the trace functions Tr$_Mq^{L(0)-c/24}\zeta^{h(0)} ($M$ a $V$-module) is a…

In this paper we study a series of vertex operator algebras of integer level associated to the affine Lie algebra $A_{\ell}^{(1)}$. These vertex operator algebras are constructed by using the explicit construction of certain singular…
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.
