We apply the general theory of tensor products of modules for a vertex operator algebra developed in our papers hep-th/9309076, hep-th/9309159, hep-th/9401119, q-alg/9505018, q-alg/9505019 and q-alg/9505020 to the case of the…

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…

We study the unitarity and modularity of ribbon tensor categories derived from simple affine Lie algebras, via their associated quantum groups. Based on numerical calculations, and assuming two conjectures, we provide the complete picture…

We incorporate a category of certain modules for an affine Lie algebra, of a certain fixed non-positive-integral level, considered by Kazhdan and Lusztig, into the representation theory of vertex operator algebras, by using the logarithmic…

We show that if $V$ is a vertex operator algebra such that all the irreducible ordinary $V$-modules are $C_1$-cofinite and all the grading-restricted generalized Verma modules for $V$ are of finite length, then the category of finite length…

Let L(n-l+1/2,0) be the vertex operator algebra associated to an affine Lie algebra of type B_l^(1) at level n-l+1/2, for a positive integer n. We classify irreducible L(n-l+1/2,0)-modules and show that every L(n-l+1/2,0)-module is…

For a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, we use the vertex tensor category theory of Huang and Lepowsky to identify the category of standard modules for the affine Lie algebra $\hat{\mathfrak{g}}$ at a fixed level…

Affine structures on a Lie groupoid, including affine $k$-vector fields, $k$-forms and $(p,q)$-tensors are studied. We show that the space of affine structures is a 2-vector space over the space of multiplicative structures. Moreover, the…

A new class of associative algebras referred to as affine walled Brauer algebras are introduced. These algebras are free with infinite rank over a commutative ring containing 1. Then level two walled Brauer algebras over C are defined,…

The main result is that the category of ordinary modules of an affine vertex operator algebra of a simply laced Lie algebra at admissible level is rigid and thus a braided fusion category. If the level satisfies a certain coprime property…

We develop some foundations of commutative algebra, with a view towards algebraic geometry, in symmetric tensor categories. Most results establish analogues of classical theorems, in tensor categories which admit a tensor functor to some…

This is the first part in a series of papers in which we introduce and develop a natural, general tensor category theory for suitable module categories for a vertex (operator) algebra. This theory generalizes the tensor category theory for…

We continue the study of the vertex operator algebra $L(k,0)$ associated to a type $G_2^{(1)}$ affine Lie algebra at admissible one-third integer levels, $k = -2 + m + \tfrac{i}{3}\ (m\in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0}, i = 1,2)$, initiated in…

We first generalize the logarithmic tensor category theory of Huang-Lepowsky-Zhang to the more general case that the module category for a vertex operator algebra $V$ (more generally a M\"{o}bius vertex algebra) might not be closed under…

We define a filtration indexed by the integers on the tensor product of an integrable highest weight module and a loop module for a quantum affine algebra. We prove that the filtration is either trivial or strictly decreasing and give…

Imaginary Verma modules, parabolic imaginary Verma modules, and Verma modules at level zero for double affine Lie algebras are constructed using three different triangular decompositions. Their relations are investigated, and several…

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…

Inspired by the study of vertex operator algebra extensions, we answer the question of when the category of local modules over a commutative exact algebra in a braided finite tensor category is a (non-semisimple) modular tensor category.…

We initiate a study of tensor ideals in linear rigid monoidal categories that are kernels of linear monoidal functors to abelian monoidal categories. We develop general methods and apply them to the category of tilting modules over quantum…
