We identify vertex operator algebras (VOAs) of a class of Argyres-Douglas (AD) matters with two types of non-abelian flavor symmetries. They are the $W$ algebra defined using nilpotent orbit with partition $[q^m,1^s]$. Gauging above AD…

We associate vertex operator algebras to $(p,q)$-webs of interfaces in the topologically twisted $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. Y-algebras associated to trivalent junctions are identified with truncations of…

We study the 3-parametric family of vertex operator algebras based on the unitary Grassmannian coset CFT $\mathfrak{u}(M+N)_k/(\mathfrak{u}(M)_k \times \mathfrak{u}(N)_k)$. This VOA serves as a basic building block for a large class of…

We study Vertex Operator Algebras (VOAs) obtained from the H-twist of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ linear quiver gauge theories. We find that H-twisted VOAs can be regarded as the ''chiralization'' of the extended Higgs branch: many of the…

We define and study a class of $\mathcal{N}=2$ vertex operator algebras $\mathcal{W}_{\mathcal{\mathsf{G}}}$ labelled by complex reflection groups. They are extensions of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ super Virasoro algebra obtained by introducing…

This paper begins with a brief survey of the period prior to and soon after the creation of the theory of vertex operator algebras (VOAs). This survey is intended to highlight some of the important developments leading to the creation of…

String theory is currently the most promising theory to explain the spectrum of the elementary particles and their interactions. One of its most important features is its large symmetry group, which contains the conformal transformations in…

The representation theory of affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras has grown tremendously since their independent introduction by Robert V. Moody and Victor G. Kac in 1968. Inspired by mathematical structures found by theoretical physicists, and by…

We consider C-graded vertex algebras, which are vertex algebras V with a C-grading such that V is an admissible V-module generated by 'lowest weight vectors'. We show that such vertex algebras have a 'good' representation theory in the…

We investigate the W-algebra resulting from Drinfel'd-Sokolov reduction of a $B_2$ WZW model with respect to the grading induced by a short root. The quantum algebra, which is generated by three fields of spin-2 and a field of spin-1, is…

Given a suitable ordering of the positive root system associated with a semisimple Lie algebra, there exists a natural correspondence between Verma modules and related polynomial algebras. With this, the Lie algebra action on a Verma module…

We identify Whittaker vectors for $\mathcal{W}_k(\mathfrak{g})$-modules with partition functions of higher Airy structures. This implies that Gaiotto vectors, describing the fundamental class in the equivariant cohomology of a suitable…

Let $N_{k} (\g)$ be a vertex operator algebra (VOA) associated to the generalized Verma module for affine Lie algebra of type $A_{\ell -1} ^{(1)}$ or $C_{\ell} ^{(1)}$. We construct a family of ideals $J_{m,n} (\g)$ in $N_{k} (\g)$, and a…

Unitary vertex operator algebras (VOAs) and conformal nets are the two most prominent mathematical axiomatizations of two-dimensional unitary chiral conformal field theories. They are conjectured to be equivalent, but a rigorous comparison…

By a pointed vertex operator algebra (VOA) we mean one whose modules are all simple currents (i.e. invertible), e.g. lattice VOAs. This paper systematically explores the interplay between their orbifolds and tensor category theory. We begin…

We study the structure of modules of corner vertex operator algebras arrising at junctions of interfaces in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. In most of the paper, we concentrate on truncations of $\mathcal{W}_{1+\infty}$ associated to the simplest…

We study aspects of the vertex operator algebra (VOA) corresponding to Argyres-Douglas (AD) theories engineered using the 6d N=(2, 0) theory of type $J$ on a punctured sphere. We denote the AD theories as $(J^b[k],Y)$, where $J^b[k]$ and…

$W$-representation realizes partition functions by an action of a cut-and-join-like operator on the vacuum state with a zero-mode background. We provide explicit formulas of this kind for $\beta$- and $q,t$-deformations of the simplest…

We study a vertex operator algebra (VOA) V related to the M(3,p) Virasoro minimal series. This VOA reduces in the simplest case p=4 to the level two integrable vacuum module of $\hat{sl}_2$. On V there is an action of a commutative current…

We construct a large family of ribbon quasi-Hopf algebras related to small quantum groups, with a factorizable R-matrix. Our main purpose is to obtain non-semisimple modular tensor categories for quantum groups at even roots of unity, where…
