The method of the BRST quantization is considered for the system of constraints, which form a Lie algebra. When some of the Cartan generators do not imply any conditions on the physical states, the system contains the first and the second…
We show that the proper interpretation of the cocycle operators appearing in the physical vertex operators of compactified strings is that the closed string target is non-commutative. We track down the appearance of this non-commutativity…
We construct closed string vertex operators with various ghost numbers in addition to the conventional ones, using the Faddeev-Popov procedure for the gauge fixing of the conformal Killing group, from matter primary fields. We find that…
The OPE between the composite $b$ ghost and the unintegrated vertex operator for massless states of the pure spinor superstring is computed and shown to reproduce the structure of the bosonic string result. The vanishing of the double pole…

Every four-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ superconformal field theory comes equipped with an intricate algebraic invariant, the associated vertex operator algebra. The relationships between this invariant and more conventional protected…

In this paper, we study the algebra of twisted vertex operators over an even integral ${\mathbf Z}_2$-lattice, and give a kind of systematic construction of fundamental representations for affine Lie algebras of type $A$, $D$, $E$ with…
We give a new, construction-free proof of the associativity of tensor product for modules for rational vertex operator algebras under certain convergence conditions.
This paper is an exposition of the representation theory of vertex operator algebras in terms of associative algebras A_n(V) and their bimodules. A new result on the rationality is given. That is, a simple vertex operator algebra V is…
It is shown how a C*-algebra representation of the transformations of a physical system can be derived from two operational postulates: 1) the existence of dynamically independent systems}; 2) the existence of symmetric faithful states.…
Infinitesimal symmetries of a classical mechanical system are usually described by a Lie algebra acting on the phase space, preserving the Poisson brackets. We propose that a quantum analogue is the action of a Lie bi-algebra on the…

For a rational and $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebra $V$ with an automorphism group $G$ of prime order, the fusion rules for twisted $V$-modules are studied, a twisted Verlinde formula which relates fusion rules for $g$-twisted modules…
We present a compact expression for a coherent vertex operator in superstring theory, in the Neveu-Schwarz sector, that can be easily extended to the Ramond sector by supersymmetric transformations in target space. We give also an explicit…
Let $\mathcal A$ be a Banach algebra for which the group of invertible elements is connected. A subspace $\mathcal L \subseteq \mathcal A$ is a Lie ideal in $\mathcal A$ if, and only if, it is invariant under inner automorphisms. This…
