We obtain a new interpretation of the cohomological Hall algebra $\mathcal{H}_Q$ of a symmetric quiver $Q$ in the context of the theory of vertex algebras. Namely, we show that the graded dual of $\mathcal{H}_Q$ is naturally identified with…

Let $V$ be a simple vertex algebra of countable dimension, $G$ be a finite automorphism group of $V$ and $\sigma$ be a central element of $G$. Assume that ${\cal S}$ is a finite set of inequivalent irreducible $\sigma$-twisted $V$-modules…

We construct an irrational C_2-cofinite vertex operator algebra associatted to a finite dimensional vector space with a nondegenerate skew-symmetric bilinear form. We also classify its equivalence classes of irreducible modules and…

We give a geometric interpretation of the Siegel operators for holomorphic differential forms on Siegel modular varieties. This involves extension of the differential forms over a toroidal compactification, and we show that the Siegel…

We provide criteria for self-adjointness and {\tau}-Fredhomness of first and second order differential operators acting on sections of infinite dimensional bundles, whose fibers are modules of finite type over a von Neumann algebra A…

We introduce the notion of N=1 supergeometric vertex operator superalgebra motivated by the worldsheet geometry underlying genus-zero, two-dimensional, holomorphic N=1 superconformal field theory. We then show, assuming the convergence of…

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 consider correlation functions for a vertex operator algebra on a genus two Riemann surface formed by sewing two tori together. We describe a generalisation of genus one Zhu recursion where we express an arbitrary genus two $n$--point…

Let $V$ be a vertex algebra of countable dimension, $G$ a subgroup of ${\rm Aut} V$ of finite order, $V^{G}$ the fixed point subalgebra of $V$ under the action of $G$, and ${\mathscr S}$ a finite $G$-stable set of inequivalent irreducible…

The goal of the present paper is to provide a mathematically rigorous foundation to certain aspects of rational orbifold conformal field theory, in other words the theory of rational vertex operator algebras and their automorphisms. Under a…

There is a very general picture emerging that conjecturally describes what happens to the representation theory of a vertex algebra $\mathcal{V}$ if we pass to the kernel $\mathcal{W}$ of a set of screening operators. Namely, the screening…

For a simple, self-dual, strong CFT-type vertex operator algebra (VOA) of central charge $c$, we describe the Virasoro $n$-point correlation function on a genus $g$ marked Riemann surface in the Schottky uniformisation. We show that this…

Huang, Lepowsky and Zhang have developed a module theory for vertex operator algebras that endows suitably chosen module categories with the structure of braided monoidal categories. Included in the theory is a functor which assigns to…

We show a surprising link between singularity theory and the invariant subspace problem of nilpotent operators as recently studied by C. M. Ringel and M. Schmidmeier, a problem with a longstanding history going back to G. Birkhoff. The link…

In a previous paper we showed how the main theorems characterizing operator algebras and operator modules, fit neatly into the framework of the `noncommutative Shilov boundary', and more particularly via the left multiplier operator algebra…

We study quantum mechanical systems with $\mathfrak{osp}(4^{*}|4)$ superconformal symmetry. We classify unitary lowest-weight representations of this superconformal algebra and define an index which receives contributions from short and…

We solve the problem of constructing a genus-zero full conformal field theory (a conformal field theory on genus-zero Riemann surfaces containing both chiral and antichiral parts) from representations of a simple vertex operator algebra…

The space of local operators in the $Q$-cohomology of the holomorphic-topological supercharge in a four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ theory carries the structure of a Poisson vertex algebra. This note studies the Poisson vertex algebra…

In this paper, we study the perturbative aspects of a twisted version of the two-dimensional $(0,2)$ heterotic sigma model on a holomorphic gauge bundle $\mathcal E$ over a complex, hermitian manifold $X$. We show that the model can be…

We give new proofs of the rationality of the N=1 superconformal minimal model vertex operator superalgebras and of the classification of their modules in both the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond sectors. For this, we combine the standard free…
