The geometric algebra is constructed from minimal raw materials.

We propose an extension of the definition of vertex algebras in arbitrary space-time dimensions together with their basic structure theory. An one-to-one correspondence between these vertex algebras and axiomatic quantum field theory (QFT)…

We introduce a class of Vertex Operator Algebras which arise at junctions of supersymmetric interfaces in ${\cal N}=4$ Super Yang Mills gauge theory. These vertex algebras satisfy non-trivial duality relations inherited from S-duality of…

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,…

This is a continuation of our work to understand vertex operator algebras using the geometric properties of varieties attached to vertex operator algebras. For a class of vertex operator algebras including affine vertex operator algebras…

Any variety of classical algebras has a so-called conformal counterpart. For example one can consider Lie conformal or associative conformal algebras. Lie conformal algebras are closely related to vertex algebras. We define free objects in…

The purpose of this note is to demonstrate the advantages of Y.-Z.~Huang's definition of the Zhu algebra (Comm.\ Contemp.\ Math., 7 (2005), no.~5, 649--706) for an arbitrary vertex algebra, not necessarily equipped with a Hamiltonian…

The earlier approach is used for description of qubits and geometric phase parameters, the things critical in the area of topological quantum computing. The used tool, Geometric (Clifford) Algebra is the most convenient formalism for that…

The usual vertex algebras have as underlying symmetry the Hopf algebra $H_D=\mathbb C[D]$ of infinitesimal translations. We show that it is possible to replace $H_D$ by another symmetry algebra $H_T=\mathbb C[T,T\inv]$, the group algebra of…

An explicit vertex operator algebra construction is given of a class of irreducible modules for toroidal Lie algebras.

In this paper we build an abstract description of vertex algebras from their basic axioms. Starting with Borcherds' notion of a vertex group, we naturally construct a family of multilinear singular maps parameterised by trees. These…

This book offers an introduction to vertex algebra based on a new approach. The new approach says that a vertex algebra is an associative algebra such that the underlying Lie algebra is a vertex Lie algebra. In particular, vertex algebras…

Foundations of the theory of vertex algebras are extended to the non-Archimedean setting.

We study the family of vertex algebras associated with vertex algebroids, constructed by Gorbounov, Malikov, and Schechtman. As the main result, we classify all the (graded) simple modules for such vertex algebras and we show that the…

Some basic notions of classical algebraic geometry can be defined in arbitrary varieties of algebras $\Theta.$ For every algebra $H$ in $\Theta$ one can consider algebraic geometry in $\Theta$ over $ H.$ Correspondingly, algebras in…

We introduce the notion of a genus and its mass for vertex algebras. For lattice vertex algebras, their genera are the same as those of lattices, which plays an important role in the classification of lattices. We derive a formula relating…

Metric algebras are metric variants of $\Sigma$-algebras. They are first introduced in the field of universal algebra to deal with algebras equipped with metric structures such as normed vector spaces. Recently a similar notion of…

Vertex algebras and factorization algebras are two approaches to chiral conformal field theory. Costello and Gwilliam describe how every holomorphic factorization algebra on the plane of complex numbers satisfying certain assumptions gives…

We give a geometric classification of 4-dimensional superalgebras over an algebraic closed field.

The notion of {\it free} generalized vertex algebras is introduced. It is equivalent to the notion of {\it generalized principal subspaces} associated with lattices which are not necessarily integral. Combinatorial bases and the characters…
