We present a new application of affine Lie algebras to massive quantum field theory in 2 dimensions, by investigating the $q\to 1$ limit of the q-deformed affine $\hat{sl(2)}$ symmetry of the sine-Gordon theory, this limit occurring at the…
Irreducible modules of the 3-permutation orbifold of a rank one lattice vertex operator algebra are listed explicitly. Fusion rules are determined by using the quantum dimensions. The $S$-matrix is also given.
The fusion rules of the 2-permutation orbifold of an arbitrary lattice vertex operator algebra are determined by using the theory of quantum dimension.
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…
Every isometry $\sigma$ of a positive-definite even lattice $Q$ can be lifted to an automorphism of the lattice vertex algebra $V_Q$. An important problem in vertex algebra theory and conformal field theory is to classify the…

A large class of supersymmetric quantum field theories, including all theories with $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supersymmetry in three dimensions and theories with $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supersymmetry in four dimensions, possess topological-holomorphic…
Prototypical rational vertex operator algebras are associated to affine Lie algebras at positive integer level k. They correspond physically to the Wess-Zumino-Witten theories, and their representation theory can be captured by quantum…
In the spirit of the geometric approach to two-dimensional conformal field theory, we explicitly associate to every holomorphic vertex operator algebra a section of a power of Hodge line bundle on the moduli space of curves of arbitrary…
Given a collection of modules of a vertex algebra parametrized by an abelian group, together with one dimensional spaces of composable intertwining operators, we assign a canonical element of the cohomology of an Eilenberg-Mac Lane space.…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an extension of valuation rings containing $\bf Q$ to be a filtered direct limit of smooth algebras.
We characterize vertex algebras (in a suitable sense) as algebras over a certain graded co-operad. We also discuss some examples and categorical implications of this characterization.
We relate extensions of completely unitary VOAs and (commutative) Q-systems. As an application, we show that any unitary extension of a completely unitary VOA is completely unitary.
The notion of the genus of a quadratic form is generalized to vertex operator algebras. We define it as the modular braided tensor category associated to a suitable vertex operator algebra together with the central charge. Statements…
In this paper, we study Heisenberg vertex algebras over fields of prime characteristic. The new feature is that the Heisenberg vertex algebras are no longer simple unlike in the case of characteristic zero. We then study a family of simple…
These are the lecture notes for a course taught at Tsinghua University in the spring of 2022. In these notes, we develop the basic theory of vertex operator algebras (VOAs) and their conformal blocks using complex-analytic methods. In…
We introduce algebras which are inductive limits of Banach spaces and carry inequalities which are counterparts of the inequality for the norm in a Banach algebra. We then define an associated Wiener algebra, and prove the corresponding…
Representations of vertex operator algebras define sheaves of coinvariants and conformal blocks on moduli of stable pointed curves. Assuming certain finiteness and semisimplicity conditions, we prove that such sheaves satisfy the…
For an infinite chain bicomplex we show that the orthogonality and grading conditions provide it with the structure of a bigraded differential algebra with respect to a natural multiplication of several elements bicomplex spaces.…
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…
