Recently an efficient numerical method has been developed to implement the constraints of crossing symmetry and unitarity on the operator dimensions and OPE coefficients of conformal field theories (CFT) in diverse space-time dimensions. It…
Topological phases of matter in (2+1) dimensions are commonly equipped with global symmetries, such as electric-magnetic duality in gauge theories and bilayer symmetry in fractional quantum Hall states. Gauging these symmetries into local…

We construct operator representation of Moyal algebra in the presence of fermionic fields. The result is used to describe the matrix model in Moyal formalism, that treat gauge degrees of freedom and outer degrees of freedom equally.
We solve the problem of constructing a genus-zero full conformal field theory (a conformal field theory on genus-zero Riemann surfaces containing both chiral and antichiral parts) from representations of a simple vertex operator algebra…
The free field representation of the osp(1|2) current algebra is analyzed. The four point conformal blocks of the theory are studied. The structure constants for the product of an arbitrary primary operator and a primary field that…
Rational chiral conformal field theories are organized according to their genus, which consists of a modular tensor category $\mathcal{C}$ and a central charge $c$. A long-term goal is to classify unitary rational conformal field theories…

Using general principles of the theory of vertex operator algebras and their twisted modules, we obtain a bosonic, twisted construction of a certain central extension of a Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle, for an…
We construct a colored operad whose category of algebras is the category of algebraic quantum field theories. This is achieved by a construction that depends on the choice of a category, whose objects provide the operad colors, equipped…
Comprehensive - that is, gauge and family - unification using spinors has many attractive features, but it has been challenged to explain chirality. Here, by combining an orbifold construction with more traditional ideas, we address that…
In this paper we discuss the relationship between noninvertible topological operators, one-form symmetries, and decomposition of two-dimensional quantum field theories, focusing on two-dimensional orbifolds with and without discrete…
Let $V$ be a vertex algebra and $g$ an automorphism of $V$ of order $T$. We construct a sequence of associative algebras $\tilde{A}_{g,n}(V )$ for any $n\in(1/T)\mathbb{N}$, which are not depend on the conformal structure of $V$. We show…
The Dunkl--Dirac operator is a deformation of the Dirac operator by means of Dunkl derivatives. We investigate the symmetry algebra generated by the elements supercommuting with the Dunkl--Dirac operator and its dual symbol. This symmetry…
We introduce notions of open-string vertex algebra, conformal open-string vertex algebra and variants of these notions. These are ``open-string-theoretic,'' ``noncommutative'' generalizations of the notions of vertex algebra and of…
Although algebraic structures are frequently analyzed using unary and binary operations, they can also be effectively defined and unified through ternary operations. In this context, we introduce structures that contain two constants and a…
A Dirichlet operator algebra is a nonself-adjoint operator algebra $\mathcal{A}$ with the property that $\mathcal{A} + \mathcal{A}^*$ is norm-dense in the C$^*$-envelope of $\mathcal{A}.$ We show that, under certain restrictions,…
