Semi-infinite forms on the moduli spaces of genus-zero Riemann surfaces with punctures and local coordinates are introduced. A partial operad for semi-infinite forms is constructed. Using semi-infinite forms and motivated by a partial…
We summarize interactions between vertex operator algebras and number theory through the lens of Zhu theory. The paper begins by recalling basic facts on vertex operator algebras (VOAs) and modular forms, and then explains Zhu's theorem on…
We explain how sheaves of vertex algebras are related to mathematical structures encoded by a class of Lagrangians. The exposition is focused on two examples: the WZW model and the (1,1)-supersymmetric $\sigma$-model. We conclude by showing…
We study a Lie algebra of formal vector fields $W_n$ with its application to the perturbative deformed holomorphic symplectic structure in the A-model, and a Calabi-Yau manifold with boundaries in the B-model. A relevant concept in the…
This paper illustrates the combinatorial approach to vertex algebra - study of vertex algebras presented by generators and relations. A necessary ingredient of this method is the notion of free vertex algebra. Borcherds \cite{bor} was the…
We construct algebras from rhombohedral tilings of Euclidean space obtained as projections of certain cubical complexes. We show that these `Cubist algebras' satisfy strong homological properties, such as Koszulity and quasi-heredity,…
Representations of vertex operator algebras define sheaves of coinvariants and conformal blocks on moduli of stable pointed curves. Assuming certain finiteness and semisimplicity conditions, we prove that such sheaves satisfy the…
We give a complete description of the full automorphism group of a lattice vertex operator algebra, determine the twisted Zhu's algebra for the automorphism lifted from the -1 isometry of the lattice and classify the corresponding…
The vertex algebras $V^{(p)}$ and $R^{(p)}$ introduced in [2] are very interesting relatives of the famous triplet algebras of logarithmic CFT. The algebra $V^{(p)}$ (respectively, $R^{(p)}$) is a large extension of the simple affine vertex…
We begin the study of a new class of operator algebras that arise from higher rank graphs. Every higher rank graph generates a Fock space Hilbert space and creation operators which are partial isometries acting on the space. We call the…
We prove that higher level Zhu algebras of a vertex operator algebra are isomorphic to subquotients of its universal enveloping algebra.
Associated varieties of vertex algebras are analogue of the associated varieties of primitive ideals of the universal enveloping algebras of semisimple Lie algebras. They not only capture some of the important properties of vertex algebras…
In this first of a series of two papers, we investigate two different equivalence relations obtained by generalizing the notion of genus of even lattices to the setting of vertex operator algebras (or two-dimensional chiral algebras). The…
We give a topological construction of graded vertex F-algebras that generalizes Joyce's vertex algebra to complex-oriented homology. Given an H-space X with a BU(1)-action, a certain choice of K-theory class, and a complex oriented homology…
We explore the relationship between de Rham and Lie algebra cohomologies in the finite dimensional and affine settings. As an application, we describe the BRST reduction of the chiral Hecke algebra as a vertex super algebra.
Here we construct spaces of coinvariants for Heisenberg vertex algebras on abelian varieties and show that these globalize to twisted $\mathscr{D}$-modules on the moduli space of abelian varieties. Remarkably, we recover the standard…
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…
Let $V$ be a freely generated pregraded vertex superalgebra, $H$ a Hamiltonian operator of $V$, and $g$ a diagonalizable automorphism of V commuting with $H$ with modulus $1$ eigenvalues. We prove that the $(g, H)$-twisted Zhu algebra of…
We introduce toric arrangements, essentially finite families of codimension 1 subtori of a torus or of their cosets, as a periodic generalization of hyperplane arrangements, compute cohomology of the complement of such an arrangement and…
Families of vertex algebras associated to nilpotent elements of simply-laced Lie algebras are constructed. These algebras are close cousins of logarithmic W-algebras of Feigin and Tipunin and they are also obtained as modifications of…
