In this thesis we classify modules over a Witt-type Lie algebra and superalgebra such that when considered as modules of $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{h})$ they are free of rank 1. We provide sufficient conditions for simplicity, and compute the…

In this paper, we consider the modules for the Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra and the W algebra $W(2,2)$. We determine the modules whose restriction to the Cartan subalgebra (modulo center) are free of rank $1$ for the two algebras. We also…
We extend the Dong-Mason theorem on the irreducibility of modules for orbifold vertex algebras from [C. Dong, G. Mason, Duke Math. J. 86 (1997)] 305-321] for the category of weak modules. Let $V$ be a vertex operator algebra, $g$ an…
In this paper, we give a construction of simple modules generalizing and including both highest weight and Whittaker modules for the Neveu-Schwarz algebra, in the spirit of the work of Mazorchuk and Zhao on simple Virasoro modules. We…
We consider exceptional vertex operator algebras and vertex operator superalgebras with the property that particular Casimir vectors constructed from the primary vectors of lowest conformal weight are Virasoro descendents of the vacuum. We…
In this paper, Whittaker modules for the W-algebra W(2,2) are studied. We obtain analogues to several results from the classical setting and the case of the Virasoro algebra, including a classification of simple Whittaker modules by central…
In arXiv:1811.04649, we extended the Dong-Mason theorem on irreducibility of modules for cyclic orbifold vertex algebras to the entire category weak modules and applied this result to Whittaker modules. In this paper we present further…
Let $L(-{1/2}(l+1),0)$ be the simple vertex operator algebra associated to an affine Lie algebra of type $A_{l}^{(1)}$ with the lowest admissible half-integer level $-{1/2}(l+1)$, for even l. We study the category of weak modules for that…
In this paper, we study irreducible non-weight modules over the mirror Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra $\mathcal{D}$, including Whittaker modules, $\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{C} d_0)$-free modules, and their tensor products. More precisely, we give…
We prove that for simple complex finite dimensional Lie algebras, affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras, the Virasoro algebra and the Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra, simple highest weight modules are characterized by the property that all positive…

We show that the vertex algebra W{1+ \infty} with central charge -1 is isomorphic to a tensor product of the simple W_3 algebra with central charge -2 and a Heisenberg vertex algebra generated by a free bosonic field. We construct a family…
We study the classical problem of Kostant for Whittaker modules over Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras. We give a sufficient condition for a positive answer to Kostant's problem for the standard Whittaker modules over reductive Lie…
Let ${\mathfrak{g}}$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra with Borel subalgebra ${\mathfrak{b}}$ and corresponding nilradical ${\mathfrak{n}}$. We show that singular Whittaker modules $M$ are simple if and only if the space $\hbox{Wh}\,M$ of…

Let $V_{L}$ be the vertex algebra associated to a non-degenerate even lattice $L$, $\theta$ the automorphism of $V_{L}$ induced from the $-1$ symmetry of $L$, and $V_{L}^{+}$ the fixed point subalgebra of $V_{L}$ under the action of…
In this paper, we study Heisenberg vertex algebras over fields of prime characteristic. The new feature is that the Heisenberg vertex algebras are no longer simple unlike in the case of characteristic zero. We then study a family of simple…
