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…
In this paper, we define differential graded vertex operator algebras and the algebraic structures on the associated Zhu algebras and $C_2$-algebras. We also introduce the corresponding notions of modules, and investigate the relations…
We extend to nilpotent orbits the notion of chiral Hecke algebra introduced by Beilinson-Drinfeld. Upon analysing their isotypic components, we produce many new modules over simple affine vertex algebras at non-admissible integer levels, as…
Let $G$ be a simple complex Lie group with Lie algebra $\mf g$ and let $\af$ be the affine Lie algebra. We use intertwining operators and Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations to construct a family of $\N$-graded vertex operator algebras…
We present a classification of transitive vertex algebroids on a smooth variety X carried out in the spirit of Bressler's classification of Courant algebroids. In particular, we compute the class of the stack of transitive vertex…
Vertex algebras provide an axiomatic algebraic description of the operator product expansion (OPE) of chiral fields in 2-dimensional conformal field theory. Vertex Lie algebras (= Lie conformal algebras) encode the singular part of the OPE,…
We study irreducible representations for the Lie algebra of vector fields on a 2-dimensional torus constructed using the generalized Verma modules. We show that for a certain choice of parameters these representations remain irreducible…

In this paper, we use the twisted regular representation theory of vertex operator algebras to construct bimodules over twisted Zhu algebras, extending Haisheng Li's work in untwisted scenarios. Moreover, a conjecture of Dong and Jiang on…
We study relationships between spinor representations of certain Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras of differential operators on the circle and values of $\zeta$--functions at the negative integers. By using formal calculus techniques we…
Vertex operator algebras are mathematically rigorous objects corresponding to chiral algebras in conformal field theory. Operads are mathematical devices to describe operations, that is, $n$-ary operations for all $n$ greater than or equal…
This paper is a continuation of arXiv:1405.1707. We present certain new applications and generalizations of the free field realization of the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra ${\mathcal H}$ at level zero. We find explicit formulas for…
We introduce the notion of a twisted differential operator of given radius relative to an endomorphism $$\sigma$$ of an affinoid algebra A. We show that this notion is essentially independent of the choice of the endomorphism $$\sigma$$. As…
This paper consists of two parts: (1) Using a Z[1/2]-form of Virasoro vertex operator algebra L(1/2,0) with central charge 1/2, we obtain a modular vertex operator algebra over any field F of finite characteristic different from 2. We…
We translate the construction of the chiral operad by Beilinson and Drinfeld to the purely algebraic language of vertex algebras. Consequently, the general construction of a cohomology complex associated to a linear operad produces a vertex…
We establish an isomorphism between the space of logarithmic intertwining operators among suitable generalized modules for a vertex operator algebra and the space of homomorphisms between suitable modules for a generalization of Zhu's…

Chiral differential operators (CDOs) are closely related to string geometry and the quantum theory of two-dimensional sigma models. This paper investigates two topics about CDOs on smooth manifolds. In the first half, we study how a Lie…
