We analyze the chiral operator ring of the symmetric orbifold conformal field theory on the complex two-plane. We compute the large N limit of the ring and exhibit its factorized leading order behaviour. We moreover calculate all structure…
In this paper, we explore natural connections among trigonometric Lie algebras, (general) affine Lie algebras, and vertex algebras. Among the main results, we obtain a realization of trigonometric Lie algebras as what were called the…
Let $N_{k} (\g)$ be a vertex operator algebra (VOA) associated to the generalized Verma module for affine Lie algebra of type $A_{\ell -1} ^{(1)}$ or $C_{\ell} ^{(1)}$. We construct a family of ideals $J_{m,n} (\g)$ in $N_{k} (\g)$, and a…
We prove a dimension formula for orbifold vertex operator algebras of central charge 24 by automorphisms of order $n$ such that $\Gamma_0(n)$ is a genus zero group. We then use this formula together with the inverse orbifold construction…
In these lecture notes prepared for the 11th Taiwan Spring School, Taipei 1997}, and updated for the Saalburg summer school 1998, we review the solutions of O(N) or U(N) models in the large N limit and as 1/N expansions, in the case of…
We discuss some basic problems and conjectures in a program to construct general orbifold conformal field theories using the representation theory of vertex operator algebras. We first review a program to construct conformal field theories.…
Limits of graphs were initiated recently in the two extreme contexts of dense and bounded degree graphs. This led to elegant limiting structures called graphons and graphings. These approach have been unified and generalized by authors in a…
We define vertex cover algebras for weighted simplicial multicomplexes and prove basics properties of them. Also, we describe these algebras for multicomplexes which have only one maximal facet and we prove that they are finitely generated.
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…
We investigate the irreducibility of the nilpotent Slodowy slices that appear as the associated variety of W-algebras. Furthermore, we provide new examples of vertex algebras whose associated variety has finitely many symplectic leaves.
We develop deformation theory of algebras over quadratic operads where the parameter space is a commutative local algebra. We also give a construction of a distinguised deformation of an algebra over a quadratic operad with a complete local…
The notions of vertex Lie algebra and vertex Poisson algebra are presented and connections among vertex Lie algebras, vertex Poisson algebras and vertex algebras are discussed.
Suppose $X$ is a smooth complex algebraic variety. A necessary condition for a complex topological vector bundle on $X$ (viewed as a complex manifold) to be algebraic is that all Chern classes must be algebraic cohomology classes, i.e., lie…
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 determine fusion rules (dimensions of the space of intertwining operators) among simple modules for the vertex operator algebra obtained as an even part of the symplectic fermionic vertex operator superalgebra. By using these fusion…
Vertex $F$-algebras are a deformation of the concept of an ordinary vertex algebra in which the additive formal group law is replaced by an arbitrary formal group law $F$. The main theorem of this paper constructs a Lie algebra from a…
In this paper, we introduce a notion of twisted restricted conformal blocks on totally ramified orbicurves and establish an isomorphism between the space of twisted restricted conformal blocks and the space of twisted conformal blocks. The…
In this article, we completely determine the isomorphism classes of lattice vertex operator algebras and the vertex operator subalgebras fixed by a lift of the -1-isometry of the lattice. We also provide similar results for certain even…
We study the large-$N$ limit of the Segal--Bargmann transform on $S^{N-1}(\sqrt N)$, the $(N-1)$-dimensional sphere of radius $\sqrt N$, as a unitary map from the space of square-integrable functions with respect to the normalized spherical…
Certain deformable families of vertex algebras acquire at a limit of the deformation parameter a large center, similar to affine Lie algebras at critical level. Then the vertex algebra and its representation category become a bundle over…
