In this paper, we study the structure of a general framed vertex operator algebra. We show that the structure codes (C,D) of a framed VOA V satisfy certain duality conditions. As a consequence, we prove that every framed VOA is a simple…
A series of vertex operator algebras are constructed by GKO-construction, which is a generalization of 3A-algebra and 6A-algebra. It is proved their vertex operator algebra structures are unique under nonzero assumptions on some elements of…
In this paper, we study the structure and representation of a $6A$-algebra which is a vertex operator algebra generated by two Ising vectors $e,f$ with inner product $\left\langle e,f\right\rangle =\frac{5}{2^{10}}.$ In particular, we prove…
In this paper we mainly study the vertex operator algebra $\mathbb{C} \mathrm{VA}(e, f)$ generated by two Ising vectors $e$ and $f$ with $\langle e, f\rangle=\frac{5}{2^{10}}$. We prove $\mathbb{C} \mathrm{VA}(e, f)$ is isomorphic to the…
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…
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…
We consider the algebraic structure of $\mathbb{N}$-graded vertex operator algebras with conformal grading $V=\oplus_{n\geq 0} V_n$ and $\dim V_0\geq 1$. We prove several results along the lines that the vertex operators $Y(a, z)$ for $a$…
It is proved that a vertex operator algebra is isomorphic to the moonshine VOA of Frenkel-Lepowsky-Meurman if it satisfies certain conditions. Our two main theorems establish a weak version of the FLM uniqueness conjecture for the moonshine…
The leitmotif of these Notes is the idea of a vertex operator algebra (VOA) and the relationship between VOAs and elliptic functions and modular forms. This is to some extent analogous to the relationship between a finite group and its…
In this article, we study orbifold constructions associated with the Leech lattice vertex operator algebra. As an application, we prove that the structure of a strongly regular holomorphic vertex operator algebra of central charge $24$ is…
The correspondence between four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories and vertex operator algebras, when applied to theories of class $\mathcal{S}$, leads to a rich family of VOAs that have been given the monicker chiral…
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…
In this article, we develop a general technique for proving the uniqueness of holomorphic vertex operator algebras based on the orbifold construction and its "reverse" process. As an application, we prove that the structure of a strongly…
In recent work, Wang and the third author defined a class of 'extremal' vertex operator algebras (VOAs), consisting of those with at least two simple modules and conformal dimensions as large as possible for the central charge. In this…
The vertex operator algebra structure of a strongly regular holomorphic vertex operator algebra $V$ of central charge $24$ is proved to be uniquely determined by the Lie algebra structure of its weight one space $V_1$ if $V_1$ is a Lie…
This article is a continuation of our work on the classification of holomorphic framed vertex operator algebras of central charge 24. We show that a holomorphic framed VOA of central charge 24 is uniquely determined by the Lie algebra…
We classify vertex operator algebras (VOAs) of OZ-type generated by Ising vectors of $\sigma$-type. As a consequence of the classification, we also prove that such VOAs are simple, rational, $C_2$-cofinite and unitary, that is, they have…
We introduce two mirror constructions of Vertex Operator Algebras associated to special boundary conditions in 3d N=4 gauge theories. We conjecture various relations between these boundary VOA's and properties of the (topologically twisted)…
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the cohomology of various algebras over an operad of moduli spaces including the cohomology of conformal field theories (CFT's) and vertex operator algebras (VOA's). This cohomology theory produces…
We determine the automorphism groups of the orbifold vertex operator algebras associated with the coinvariant lattices of isometries of the Leech lattice in the conjugacy classes 3C, 5C, 11A and 23A. These orbifold vertex operator algebras…
